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.
