Climate Science at the Exploratorium
At the Exploratorium, we create tools and experiences that help you to become an active explorer of climate change and the environment. Our Fisher Bay Observatory and Living Systems galleries encourage visitors to investigate the environmental conditions, history, geography, and ecosystems of the Bay Area and beyond, and how local landscapes are being altered by climate change. Our building on Pier 15 has won numerous awards for sustainability, and is fitted with sensors that help scientists better understand the impact of climate change in urban settings. From exploration grows understanding; from understanding, action. Join us.
