Generations have come to the Exploratorium to discover, learn, and play. You can sustain the wonder for future generations! Your family’s participation in Wonder Funday enables us to provide free field trips and transportation for the Bay Area’s under-resourced Title I schools. In school year 2023–2024, more than 50,000 kids will visit the Exploratorium on free field trips. Our goal? Equitable access for all. Join us in bringing joyful, hands-on science experiences to the next generation of explorers!
