If you or a friend thinks science is boring, then you or your friend needs to come to the Exploratorium. There are exhibits that demonstrate or manipulate how the five senses interpret the world. Why can you lie down on a sheet of nails, but one nail alone will impale you? How does a baseball curve? These questions can be explained by the many docents waiting to answer your questions. There is a cafeteria in case you didn't bring your own lunch. There is a gift shop for momentos too. My favorite is the Tactile Dome. You get to experience what a blind person goes through each day. Advance reservations are needed. The only drawback is that it gets crowded when many teachers schedule field trips on the same day.
