The Museum Exploratorium Store is now open! The Store is accessible from the Embarcadero—no need to buy a ticket to the museum if you'd like to shop. Until then (or if you’d rather stay home), you can always shop on our online store. The Small Store inside the museum will remain temporarily closed.
Hours
Daily with museum hours until 5:30 p.m.
Thursday evenings until 10:30 p.m.
Bring a bit of the Exploratorium home with you! Our store was inspired by our on-site exhibit workshop, where our exhibits are designed and built in a space that’s open to view on the museum floor.
We carry unique gadgets, games, tinkering items, and books that focus on science, art, and technology. You’ll find a wide variety for both kids and adults that are great for holiday and birthday gifts or unusual San Francisco souvenirs. We also sell Exploratorium clothing and gift items that are made by local San Francisco artisans as well as items designed in-house.
All purchases help to support the Exploratorium’s educational mission.
