In September, we went to The Exploratorium, the granddaddy of all science museums, in San Francisco. It's in the beautiful Palace of Fine Arts, which was built for a World's Fair or something in the 1930s or so. It was meant to be a temporary display, but the city liked it so much, they rebuilt a permanent one. The Exploratorium isn't a gorgeous building on the inside. It looks more like a warehouse, but it's full of fun, hands-on science exhibits. We had fun making designs on a spinning sand table, blowing giant bubbles, playing with all sorts of mirrors, watching a dissection of a cow's eye, and more. After a whole day there, we went to Chinatown for dinner, and found a neighborhood festival going on in a park there.
