After Dark
About
Every Thursday evening the Exploratorium goes adults-only, with the hands-on exhibits open alongside speakers, music, films and activities. It runs 6–10 p.m. at Pier 15 on the Embarcadero (Embarcadero & Green St), on the F-Market streetcar line and about a 15-minute walk from Embarcadero BART. Members and donors get in free with card and ID; the organiser doesn't publish a non-member price on this listing. At 18+ rather than 21+, it is the Thursday museum night younger adults can attend, unlike Cal Academy's NightLife the same evening.
