What travellers are saying
- Ldiva001San Diego, CA85 contributionsThe very best entertainment for any age. Every time I travel to SF I find time to visit the Exploratorium because there is so much to do with my granddaughters and I could never finish exploring the hands-on science exhibits that enthrall all of us. Good for ALL ages. I cannot say enough about the learning that happens while you spend the day. There is even a cafe. Easily take a day or two or .... Great place! Nice people working there.Written 21 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jennifer GBrookline, MA73 contributionsIf you enjoy modern art museums, don't miss this one! The building is expansive and filled with natural light. The unexpectedly broad collection is fun, interesting and very well-curated. WIth only a few free hours, we weren't able to participate in any of the great programming on offer, or snack at the beautiful rooftop cafe, but we did make sure to swing by the wonderful museum store.Written 19 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- goldenparadoxPasadena, MD587 contributionsI was in the area visiting the Botanical Gardens, Japanese Tea Garden and the Academy of the Sciences across the street and came to de Young's to get a bite to eat and use the restroom. I ate outside by the sculpture garden which you can enjoy without an admission ticket. Also, taking the elevator up to the observation deck is FREE, which I highly recommend, especially if it's a clear day. The views are spectacular and the fact that it's free is a bonus! You can also use the restrooms as well (without an admission ticket). If you're in the area, it's definitely worth swinging by to go up the observation deck.Written 2 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ashley DCupertino, CA1 contributionSuch a cool space. Can't wait for their new location and all the awesome things to come. Love this for the community.

- LLD2215Atlanta, GA85 contributionsGreat Rodin exhibit. By far the best thing there for the most part. Some other nice work as well.

- Janet L188 contributionsSpecial exhibit featuring Bruce Lee was remarkable. Miniature rooms of Early days are finely detailed. Staff was friendly, located in the heart of Chinatown.Written 18 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ElvisAndrusArlington, TX912 contributionsIt was just part of a long walk but a delightful part. Beauty, history and opportunity all in one place. Some interesting stores and a gallery we left for another day.Written 13 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Juan B13 contributionsIf you want to see a Diego Rivera mural, this is his most accessible of his three San Francisco murals. It’s also very beautiful and located in a gallery that houses the occasional exhibition.Written 30 April 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ZutotHorley, UK678 contributionsIf you enjoy comic books, you’ll enjoy this. If you’re not into comic books, you may not get that much from it. They have some interesting exhibits, for instance some of the original artwork from the Michael Jackson Thriller music video and they have some props from various Batman movies. Overall, pretty good but could have been a bit more varied and had some illustrations from cartoons as opposed to focusing exclusively on comics.Written 20 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- tinaNtravelSan Jose, CA2,010 contributionsWe happened to walk past here and saw it open (and free) so decided to stop in and take a look. The little creek, house and lights on the ground floor is worth a picture or two! Upstairs is some artwork and sculpures from various regions, mostly Asia. There isn't a lot to see and we saw it all in about 10-15 minutes. I would not suggest going out of your way to visit, but if you are in the area, for example, arrived early for the Orpheum Theater, it is worth a walk over and look around.Written 23 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- evelynsheridanNew York City, NY36 contributionsI saw the photographs of the rock stars from the 60's, including an upstairs pass to the orginal Abby Road photographs and more recent "pop" and political icons. The gallery staff were pleasant and low key with no pressure to buy. We were allowed to simply enjoy the display. They said they frequently handle this type of material.Written 7 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ElvisAndrusArlington, TX912 contributionsI am glad I went. Contemporary art with a political edge. Much of it I could not relate to because I do not share the experience that produced the art. Friendly staff, an affordable entry fee and a manageable design all add to the experience.Written 18 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- M GOakland, CA189 contributionsVisiting here was an interesting experience. I think a better description of this place is an art gallery rather than a museum. The entry gift shop is nice, the staff are fine & the price of admission is fair($10.00). The current display consists of entering a large dark warehouse with lights & videos being projected on the walls. There are chairs & bean bags to lay on if you want to chill for a while. It took about 10 minutes to experience everything. You could stay longer if you choose to watch the entire loop of the slideshow. There is also a small room in the back to create a do it yourself art craft. I enjoyed the display & appreciated the artists vision, but it felt too spread out for such a large area & I would have liked to see more done with the space.Written 6 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
