Duane M. • March 31, 2018Not just a static display. You can take a Bay cruise at this presidential museum.

Kendal C. • August 24, 2016Fantastic museum with a ton of exhibits. Personally loved the history one the most. There's so much content that you definitely have to come multiple times to see everything.

andy d. • March 19, 2017Fun for all ages. Unlimited free play on tons pinball machines from various times.

Angel M. • July 6, 2019A good number of my favorite arcade games including all 80s music playing. Please note that there is a $6.00 for one hour fee or $12.00 for all day. Unlimited playing!! I definitely will return.

Aaron P. • February 24, 2015First time visitor. Planetarium and laser show were very cool. Had sandwiches for lunch and they were surprisingly delicious despite their $10 price tag. On that note, the place was filthy...

Sara C. • January 1, 2016Very quiet. Rich in history & hospitality. There is also a seed lending library!

Jon S. • February 24, 2014They have a cute gift shop.

Anton S. • May 3, 2015Get the tea service.

Lailanie G. • September 8, 2017It's a great museum with different varieties of Modern Art. I especially loved the Soundtracks exhibit if you enjoy art and music and sounds.

Jonathan F. • May 17, 2014Look. You gotta check this space out. It's got photography, architecture, video games, 3d printers, laser cutters. This might be ground zero for making cool stuff in SF.

Richard Alexander C. • July 12, 2019Make a reservation for their (free!) guided tour. It's wonderful.

Jonathan C. • June 10, 2015Love this place. My wife takes out daughter here all the time. Who says there aren't things for kids to do in the city?

Victoria S. • March 24, 2012Get the membership! Save money.
