The Exploratorium

Our family went to the Exploratorium, the museum of science, art, and human perception. We decided to visit because it's free admission every first Wednesday of the month.

I didn't know what to expect 'til I saw what was in store when we lined up. From the entrance, it was such a tease to discover what was dangling or pointing in different directions. I was like "There's more of those inside?".

My inner geek tingled.

When I got in, it's was pure heaven!!! It's like a mash-up of Back to the Future, Doctor Who, Crystal Maze, The Experiment Game, and all the geek stuff I couldn't think of right now!

There were pulleys, mirrors, magnets, sound, lights, levers, weights, smoke, electricity, liquid, steel balls, micro-organisms, and more! Contraptions of all shapes and sizes! So many things to do learn, discover, test, and explore!

I honestly don't know where to start so I dashed over to the nearest contraption I find interest in. It's a huge cylinder of water where I create an awesome whirlpool that its length depends to the force of water gushing on top of it.

I was all over the place! This was exactly the same feeling when I went in and out five times at the Mirror Maze at Pier 39! Anyway, each time I test a contraption, I want to stay and learn more about it but I have to move to the next 'cause there's more surrounding me.

An added plus to the Exploratorium is their office space. Not only can you see them work but also find the procedures they work with their contraptions and all the materials they use for these. Cool! :)

When we were about to leave, I felt like I needed to stay. I want to learn more :( I think there was like this in the Philippines but who cares, I just want to stay at the Exploratorium and have fun :)

I want to apologize for the lack of images in this post. I forgot to recharge my camera's battery :p
