After Dark: See for Yourself

The Exploratorium is your playground after dark! Wander the galleries, sip a cocktail, and let a DJ from Hip Hop for Change set the vibe. For breathtaking views of the water and city skyline, head to Fisher Bay Observatory Gallery 6. Peer through a telescope, pore over a historic map, or explore an interactive data visualization that sends fog sweeping over the landscape. You’ll uncover the history, geography, and ecology of the Bay Area!

We invite you to open your eyes to the amazing world of the ultra-tiny! Be sure to grab a miniscope kit and directions - then convert your cell phone into a portable, picture-taking miniscope using a simple plastic lens from a laser pointer. Use it to see the Exploratorium at its smallest scale, then take it home to continue exploring new environments!
