The Exploratorium is a wonderful, "hands-on" science and industry museum.  If 
you or your kids enjoy "how does it work" type exhibits, you'll love the place. 
The specific exhibit you're describing is called the "Tactile Dome", and it's 
very unusual and fun.  Note that you MUST make advance reservations to visit 
the Tactile Dome (as opposed to the Exploratorium at large, which you can enter 
any time it's open).  I've seen people disappointed because they hadn't made 
reservations.
