[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new Exploratorium down by Pier 39 would be perfect for him. Also the new Steinheart Aquarium is a big hit around here. There are a ton of things here that you'll find. LOTS to do that fit your needs![/quote]

Steinhart Aquarium is the aquarium in the California Academy of Sciences, right?  We were in the Bay Area this summer, and we went to the CA Academy of Sciences several times - good thing we got a membership.  We loved it.  It's great for younger and older kids.  They have more than the aquarium - there had a three story indoor rainforest and an earthquake simulator, among other things.  It's in Golden Gate Park so there's a lot to see in that area.

We didn't go to the Exploratorium this time, but have in the past, and loved it.  See if you can plan ahead to do the Tactile Dome - you may need to make reservations.  If you do the Exploratorium, check out the food reviews online.  The restaurant on site has a healthy menu only, which I don't have a problem with, but it might be an issue depending on how picky your child is.  There's always the Ferry Building a few blocks away, which has incredible food choices, but can also get crowded.

We got food to go from the Ferry Building (try Out the Door, the to-go arm of the Slanted Door, also there's an empanadas place that's good) and ate at the Sue Bierman park across the street while the kids ran around at the playground.  http://sfrecpark.org/destination/sue-bierman-park/

I've heard good things about the Children's Creativity Museum in the SOMA area (at Fourth and Howard), but it's been some time since I've been there.[/quote]
