5. Exploratorium

MARINA DISTRICT.   Founded by physicist Dr. Frank Oppenheimer in 1969, Exploratorium makes learning fun through hands-on participation. More than 650 exhibits keep visitors attentive, and for an additional $3 (and a lot of fun), folks can brave the Tactile Dome. This attraction lets you crawl, climb, and slide through a pitch-dark, soundproofed labyrinth navigated only by touch. NOT for claustrophobes! Advanced reservations are suggested for the Tactile Dome. Special hours Wednesday until 9pm. No admission fee the first Wednesday of the month. Located within San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts.   (© 10Best)
