The Exploratorium is a great for all ages, hands on, science museum right on the edge of the city. The prices are quite steep but they do offer student and children's discounts. If you ask me, the museum is well worth the 25 dollar admissions fee, and I could have stayed there all day long. They also do an adult night on Thursday nights!
As we entered, all of us slowly separated into smaller groups and singles as we were pulled by our curiosity in different directions.
This was my first time going and in my opinion, the best thing about the Exploratorium was that it was all such an experience. With every display, you were looking through, or speaking to, touching, or moving one thing to learn another. Some of my favorites were the monochromatic room, the large dimensional mirrors, the long exposure photos, the rainbow room, the psychology exhibits... the list goes on! Pictured above was an exhibit that stated "not all shadows are dark." So cool.
We spent a good few hours there, and all met back at the front entrance once we were ready to move on. Exploratorium, I'll be back!
The rest of our day consisted of wandering around Fisherman's Wharf eating baguettes from Boudin Bread, and then heading over to Mr.Parker's house for a small combo birthday celebration! With a mix of my girlfriends and some friends from school who live in the area, I must say, it was a fun little party. At one point all of us were so high/hungry, that once the pizza came, we each were eating one slice out of one hand and holding our second slice in the other. lol it looks as ridiculous as it sounds.
Looking back, I realized that I haven't been to a science museum or had a birthday party with a cake and banners in a good handful of years. I enjoyed embracing my inner child as I enter another year of being old. I am thankful I have friends who know how to have childlike fun.
