I visit San Francisco for the very first time recently. My family and I visited the Exploritorium there and had a great time. It is a HUGE collection of science experiments, and they have the illusions in the back. Most of them I've seen before, and a couple of them are great to see in 3d (i.e. in person and not in a book).
