Story

We arrived in San Francisco late morning. We caught an Uber to the Exploratorium and had a great time exploring the science exhibits. Since we didn't have a hotel, we took our suitcase with us. Luckily they had a locker at the Exploratorium that was big enough. We walked down the waterfront for lunch then did more Exploratorium exploring until about 4:30.

Story

We visited the Exploratorium while in San Francisco for an EERI competition. It was a lot of fun, especially the goggles that angle everything, which makes it incredibly hard to play catch.
