A few weeks ago was my senior prom, which was at the Exploratorium. The exhibits and environment were very fun and made for a super engaging night! As a trans person, I have a lot of anxiety in public bathrooms. Although they were unable to open up the general neutral bathroom (I mean, it's high schoolers, you can't trust them). However, the staff was extremely accommodating and kind, and escorted me to a separate bathroom. They made sure I got to pick the bathroom I was most comfortable in, as well as apologized for the inconvenience. Not only is this place fun, entertaining, and family friendly, they are welcoming, kind, and caring. I will never forget the kindness that I was shown.

Exploratorium San Francisco, CA…read more Date went 4/25/26 Time went around 1:15pm on a Saturday It was very busy to say the least Bonus the entry fee is $5 for food stamp recipients Atmosphere It was so great to see a mixture of young children with parents, teenagers, and even older people in this establishments. I saw lots of laughter, play, and wonder and despite it being packed everyone was respectful and I didn't see any hogging of the different activities. You could easily spend at least 3 or 4 hours in there. Food Court I ordered a chicken avocado bacon burger and it was surprisingly delicious! Also, not too expensive. Overall I highly recommend coming her with your kids, on a date, or just for some fun scientific exploring! I didn't get to see what the regular entrance fee was, but I'd say this would be worth it for about $25-$30 per person. I wish I would've taken more pictures of the different activities Recommendations - More hand sanitizing stations, I only recall seeing one throughout the entire place

The space itself is beautiful -- high ceilings with great skylights, beautiful brick wall on one side, and every media capability you can think of including customizable lighting, sound, and 2 projectors.

From my very first conversation with him I could tell that he was going to do everything in his power to make the proposal as perfect as possible. He provided every option, made great suggestions, and went above and beyond for me. I can truly say that I would not be engaged if it wasn't for Chris. I cannot thank him enough.

I have nothing negative to say- the space was beautiful, displayed artwork was beautiful, the bartenders, day-of staff, security guard were all so helpful and friendly to not only me as the bride but to ALL of our guests. We got a ton of compliments all night about what a cool space it was and that it was a perfect choice for our party. We worked closest with Stacy and she was phenomenal! She helped us throughout the year of planning and went above and beyond on numerous occasions to make sure our needs were met. We are so happy we chose this venue for our special day!!!

As someone who plans large company events while juggling a full-time job, I know how stressful it can be to find a space that checks all the boxes: an impressive venue, efficient and friendly staff, ample entertainment options, and reliable vendor connections for everything from catering and music to photo booths, balloons, and even stylish furniture. Club Sportiva delivered on all fronts. Working with Emma, their Event Specialist, was an absolute pleasure. She is a true professional--organized, responsive, and incredibly flexible, even when we needed to make last-minute changes. Emma coordinated seamlessly with all our vendors on the night of the event, managed her team with ease, and regularly checked in with me to ensure everything was running smoothly. She stayed until the very end, making sure every detail was handled and that I, as the planner, could actually enjoy the event too. We hosted over 250 guests, including families with children, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. In fact, the only complaint I heard was from a child who didn't get one last turn on the car simulator before their parents said it was time to go! Club Sportiva was the perfect choice--elegant, well-organized, and versatile. They helped us plan an unforgettable, fun, and well-executed event within our budget. Emma's expertise and hands-on support made a world of difference. As someone who has planned many corporate events, I can confidently say that working with Emma and the Club Sportiva team was a rare and exceptional experience--and her level of service comes at no additional cost. That kind of value is priceless.

You are welcome to bring your own food from the outside but just no drinks which is a great way to keep the party going with friends. Though my buddy got kicked out, the bouncers were nice enough to kick him out respectfully - that is for being a bit too drunk. Love you guys for that and please don't ever give the bouncers are hard time. :)

Upon arrival, and the entire stay, all of the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel was sold out but they did a great job managing the crowd. While the room, on the 33rd floor, was somewhat small, it was clean, relatively quiet and everything worked properly. We ate at the breakfast buffet every morning and there was some variety from day to day. I will say that they seem understaffed at the restaurant but the waitstaff was hustling. Upon checkout the bill was accurate. If you need to be in Union Square or Chinatown, than this is a great location. If you're trying to do Golden Gate Park or Fisherman's Wharf, it's a little out of the way but still pretty easy to get there. I'd stay here again without hesitation.

I had the displeasure of interacting with a front desk employee named Ed Brandes during my stay. If…read moreyou look at reviews on other sites, it seems other guests have had similar experiences with him as well. During check-in, he: 1. Told us he initially thought we were Japanese because "all Asians look the same." 2. After we understandably did not laugh, told us to "smile" because we "didn't understand his humor." 3. Said he was glad ICE was not there because we were international. We had prepaid for the room and, in hindsight, should have left immediately. During checkout, we witnessed another disturbing interaction. A guest who appeared to have limited English proficiency was struggling with the card reader, and Ed aggressively slammed the machine down in front of them. The guest still thanked him politely afterward. He ignored them. The behavior was shocking and completely inappropriate for someone working at the front desk. I have genuinely never experienced this level of unprofessionalism, hostility, and discriminatory behavior from hotel staff before. We will be formally reporting this incident to our state civil rights agency. Clearly he has a pattern of behavior and nothing has been done to reprimand his racist behavior. No guest should be subjected to racist remarks or intimidation while checking into a hotel.
