Visit to the Exploratorium

I am currently in the process of trying to organize a possible field trip for our district's GATE students later this year, and the Exploratorium is one of the places we're considering.  It was perfect then, that we wanted to take our kids there to check it out.

 The place is completely filled with interactive, hands-on exhibits which is perfect for our kids' ages.

 We did our best to engage in as many exhibits as possible, and yet we still left not quite seeing everything.  It was a brain overload, that's for sure!  Our family had a wonderful time (it'll definitely be different when I bring a group of over 130 GATE kids on 3 different days!).
We didn't want to pay the ridiculous prices for lunch in the Exploratorium's cafe, so we walked to Pier 39 and had clam chowder at Boudin Bakery Cafe.
