Palace Of Fine Arts Theater at the Exploratorium
The children have the opportunity, once a year, to attend a stage play in San Francisco at the theater at the Exploratorium. The date is dependant upon the theater's schedule so that we can make sure it will be a play to interest the children and we can provide appropriate background. The children not only get to see a live production but we also take the time to teach proper audience behavior. Donation is approximately $10 per person.The Exploratorium at the Palace of Fine Arts
