Key to Floor Plan
Gallery guide
The main exhibit floor of the Exploratorium is anchored by four main
galleries. The Central Gallery is themed around seeing and listening,
the West Gallery focuses on human phenomena, and the East Gallery
on living systems. The South Gallery, or the Tinkering Studio™, allows
visitors to build their own exhibits. The Outdoor Gallery explores local
weather and the Bay Observatory offers superb views of the bay and
beyond. There are two dining areas: the plaza-side Seismic Joint Café on
the west and the waterfront Seaglass Restaurant in the Bay Observatory.
