Experience

Start your tour at the Children’s Creativity Museum, where your family can explore music, sound, literary activities, design and animation. Once the children’s minds are sufficiently abuzz, hail a robotaxi and make the trip along The Embarcadero to the Exploratorium. Let your children immerse themselves in the science, technology and arts amongst the 600 exhibits available at the Exploratorium. If you can prise your children away from the exhibits long enough, make sure to have lunch at the Exploratorium’s excellent cafe facilities. After another robotaxi ride, it is time to play like they did a century ago. Roll back the years with a trip to the Musée Mécanique, where all the family can delight in play the antique arcade slot machines.
