Sushi Boats!
You sit around the center and pull different sushi rolls off of the boats as they rotate by. Prices are marked based on the color of plate, so you will stack your plates and they will tally your bill at the end. You can also order specific rolls if you don't see what you want on the boats! So much fun! (Easy to walk by!)

Not exactly your everyday museum. Awesome space that is very hands-on and interactive. The Exploratorium is divided into different segments that each have their own focus and level of interaction which includes everything from botanical science to human interaction and emotions to regional ecosystems.
Thursday nights they offer an adult night "after dark" program -- each week has its own theme.
