Explora Store

Most gift shops correlate their museum and Explora Store is no different. If you enter through the front of the museum by the ticket counters, you can’t miss it.
From fun science, chemistry and physics kits to plush animals, games, toys, magnets, cups, gems, stones, jewelry, pens, pencils, keychains, clothing, videos and books. Much of the store seizes your attention. So many things I wanted here.
There is plenty of noticeable shop staff around in case you have questions (at least when we were there). After a day of visiting all the exhibits, it’s a refreshing store full of presents and keepsakes where you could likely find something to bring home with you.

We recently came to the California Science Center and stopped by the Explora Store to get a jacket for my son.
It was so cold when we got here. Walking into the Explora Store, we found a wonderful sales associate. She was so friendly and helpful! She helped us find a sweatshirt right away and even found a map so we could find all the best exhibits at the museum.
This store is so cool! Besides great jackets and t-​shirts, there is every toy, game, puzzle, and science-​related fun a kid could want. There’s lots of mugs, books, tote bags, key chains, and even some jewelry. We really liked the ant farms and butterfly gardens found here!
This store is so big that we could have wandered around this store for hours and still not see everything. If you love science, you really could get lost here. My son really liked the great selection of games, 3D puzzles, and science kits at the Exlora Store!
By the time we were done shopping here, my son found a nice jacket and a great 3D puzzle for his friend’s birthday. For fun toys, educational items, and apparel, this is wonderful stop while visiting the California Science Center!

explora store? why yes, thank you, i will explore the store at the california science center. they certainly had a lot to explore as i saw souvenirs related to the space shuttle endeavor, ecosystem-​based activity sets, and all of the animals that live in the various climates of the world. i purchased a space shuttle themed souvenir for a friend which was reasonably priced, expected for a museum gift shop, but not overly priced. located on the main floor of the science center to the left of the entrance with the same hours as the center itself, 10am-​5pm everyday.
