The exploratorium is always a fantastic experience for all ages. We've been coming back for several years now, and their thoughtful curation of the experience provides a great way for all ages to understand science and math. Their current AI exhibit was also a nice touch.
lots of cool stuff with which you can interact. You have to check this place out if you are interested in science.
