The children got to feel what Alice must have felt like when she drank her "drink me" bottle and ate her little cakes as they played with visual perception.
They had fun bouncing metal marbles at just the right angle to get them to go through hoops at varying distances. 
The saw the different patterns that differently shaped rods would vibrate in. 
A favorite of the older children was the high voltage electricity that skipped through the air from one rod to another. 
Sethy's favorite was the water. In this exhibit the children got to place objects in a continuously flowing stream of water which had foam on top and so made foam trails around what they placed. Sethy also decided it was a cool place to drive the car he was carrying in his hand. There were many more hands-on exhibits, including cow eye and sheep brain dissections. My daughter was fascinated by these, but I must confess that like my son it made my stomach turn.

It sounds like fun. We used to go to the exploratorium at least once a year when I was a kid. I love the cow's eye exhibit.
