Everybody else, use this one.

To contact Reservations directly, call (415) 528-4407 or email reserve@exploratorium.edu. Once you've reserved, you'll receive a confirmation email with all the information you'll need to plan your trip. 

The reservations office is open seven days a week from 8:45 a.m.–5:00 p.m. daily, with extended hours on Thursdays from 8:45 a.m–9:00 p.m.

Please be ready with first, second, and third choices for field trip dates, and keep in mind that Fridays are the busiest and Wednesdays are the least busy. Please note that we don't accept reservations for pay-what-you-wish community days, and we do not accept cash payments for field trips.

We require that you bring a minimum of one chaperone for every ten youths or children in your group.
