    The outside gives only small hints of the magic inside

    An incredible experience. I felt like I was transported to another world. It was playful and at the same time emotionally deep, encouraging self-exploration and reflection on life's big questions. Our guide made us feel comfortable, even in strange situations, and added so much to the experience. I would absolutely recommend and felt it was worth every penny.

    It was amazing!!!!! We took our two kids for valentine and the fairyland was sooo much fun. We loved every bit of it. Till this day, my two kids still want my husband and I to call them by their fairy names that they named themselves.

    I went here with my family (we were a part of 11) and we had the whole place to ourselves! I had no idea what I was getting myself into, as my Aunt, who booked our visit, said we were just going to the "Gregangelo Museum" nothing more, nothing less, and so I assumed it was your average museum. This museum is far from average. When you enter the neighborhood, you'll easily find their house sticking out among the other homes, and because our group was so large, we were divided into two. My group and I started outside and made out way out, while the remaining group started inside and made their way out. This less of a museum, was more like an immersive experience throughout the home that Greg lives in, where you're guided by someone who asks you riddles, and questions that prompt you to open up to those in your group. (Fun fact, I cried at one point, and JKSHDFJKDHFS I didn't expect that I would be doing ANY reflecting, especially out loud lol) The house is made up of art and materials that were either donated, recycled, or found, and has been about 40 years in the making. The garden in the backyard is beautiful, and all of the rooms inside were breathtaking. I definitely recommend checking it out at least once, and bring some friends!

    I experienced "Phantasma: Embrace Your Fears" during Halloween season a couple years ago, and what an adventure into the afterlife! Cool sets, awesome props, even a live snake, and of course great actors and performers to captivate and intrigue guests. They made great use of the outdoor space around the property during COVID, and it was interactive, so actors would ask questions that inspired creative thought and imagination, and of course included commentary that incorporated a bit of humor while still staying in character. Fast forward two years, and I'm able to journey "Into the Rabbit Hole" and finally explore the inside of this one-of-a-kind museum. It's actually a home in a residential neighborhood, but that just means parking is pretty easy to find, since the shows/experiences are by reservation only, and limited to small groups. Gregangelo is the owner and also founder of Velocity Arts and Entertainment, a traveling circus troupe. He was also the guide for our journey into the rabbit hole last week, where my party of two joined another party of one, to transform into three bunnies, as we entered the premises. The outdoor decor and props were partially covered, perhaps being renovated/changed. But inside was a whole 'nother story. "Into the Rabbit Hole" is basically a tour of 8 out of 27 rooms in this museum, where pretty much everything is art... the decor, the paintings, the furniture, the lighting, even the quotes and words hidden in various places. But there's somewhat of a storyline being followed (because as I mentioned, you are a bunny as you enter). It's definitely unique, I'd describe it to be something like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Except, instead of Willy Wonka, it's Gregangelo. And instead of a chocolate factory, it's this maze of art and color, and symbolism, and stories behind the various props and items presented, strange corridors, choices to be made, plenty of thoughts and ideas for reflection. And you don't get to the next room without some kind of exploration or sharing of personal beliefs and feelings, or perhaps solving some sort of riddle. I liked not knowing what to expect, while also being able to appreciate the art all around. Some themes included a room full of musical instruments, a room focused on the circus, and an earth room. My favorite room was the Falling Star Room with a swing for sitting, and love tarot cards in Arabic but translated to English with words like "friendliness" or "attraction" to define a component of love associated with each guest (or bunny, lol). No there are no Oompa Loompas here unless you count the writers or other staff, but I swear Gregangelo is just as genius and mysterious as Willy Wonka, and the various rooms we ventured through were odd and whimsical, evoking curiosity, and challenging us to turn our dreams into reality. Maybe the song Pure Imagination should be playing, while exploring the little details of Gregangelo's humble abode!?! I've enjoyed my experiences at the Gregangelo Museum. In the end, I think we are inspired to become better versions of ourselves in some way.

    Just one of the amazing rooms!

    For someone who has loved the landscape and beauty that is San Francisco ever since my first visit over two decades ago, someone who continued to return time and time again, so much so that she made the move just this year, witnessing Gregangelo's was an unbelievable treat. This review may be difficult to piece together, because truly there are no words to describe the experiences meant for your senses, ones we are aware of and ones that perhaps take some digging to activate. The installations are separated by rooms and various areas of the house. They capture the vision and translation of local artists, while painting pictures of not only San Francisco's rich history or interpretations, but guides us to ponder hidden thoughts about the walks of life. The passion for the history, the arts, and just this wonderous wild flare only San Francisco knows... radiates intensely from the Gregangelo team, and I hope Gregangelo's continues to see the support it deserves. It is quite an impressive and sensational ride, and for those who desire more, a step in your spiritual journey. I am so very grateful for the opportunity to visit with an awesome group (what a lucky stroke!), and intend to come back, seeing more of their creations, continuing my adventure with this resilient city, and celebrating its history and future. I am hopeful that many more will get to experience the same.

    Love the centerpiece decoration surrounded by food bites before the show

    Words cannot begin to describe this wonderful, zany, eclectic museum which one would never know is located in the St. Francis Woods neighborhood. My visual senses were in complete awe of the evening that my wife, son and I experienced seeing Jade the Magician. This was the second time seeing Jade's performance with the first one being probably 7 years ago in a avant-garde bar/theater for small performances. Greg Angelo and his host of costumed performers delighted us throughout the evening with Jade's performance being the main event. This museum is actually a residence where Greg continues to evolve each room in the house with even the bathroom which is not spared in terms of normalcy. I highly recommend attending a performance if it is here as he hosts various local performers and artists. Definitely recommend seeing Jade wherever she is performing and i guarantee you will get your moneys worth. Thank you Greg for allowing us to experience a truly magnificent Winter Solstice and to Jade for presenting new acts which we did not see the first time.

    Greeted by our lovely  facilitator.

    This experience is located in a very unassuming yet gorgeous suburban neighborhood 7 miles outside of downtown San Fran. Uber took 25 min each way ($25) plus the cost of the ticket. More of an experience than a museum, we were guided by a facilitator, along with another couple, through 4-5 rooms of the house as we shared our observations (both external and internal) along the way. Think of this as a guided escape room on imagination steroids with a bit of 'self-discovery' sprinkled in. The only option offered during our visit was 'Down the Rabbit Hole'. Our facilitator was just lovely and did a great job of keeping us each engaged. The imagination infused into every aspect of the house: the experience, decor, the storyline, costumes and concept is beyond impressive! A one-of-a-kind experience. I've given 4 stars as was a tad disappointed that we were only guided through a handful of rooms and not allowed ANY opportunity to take photos or have photos taken... Phones were to be tucked away as-to remain present so that is good but, in my opinion, an opportunity was missed to infuse photo opportunities as part of the overall adventure. That being said - a great activity and one well worth planning into your visit-if you are looking for something fun and unique to do.

    Ask the Community - The Gregangelo Museum

    Are pictures and/or filming (non-commercial) allowed inside and during the tour?

    No- all phones, cameras, smart watches, and other electronics are left in the first room so you can fully experience the tour without distraction. At the end of the tour respectful photography is allowed. I am unsure about video after the tour.

    Hi, how much does the entrance fee cost per person here at Gregangelo's Museum? Thanks in advance!

I'm now a STEAM instructor myself, and I still feel the same sense of wonder every time I walk through the doors. The Exploratorium understands something incredibly important: science isn't just a collection of facts to memorize. It's something to touch, hear, build, question, experiment with, and experience. What I admire most is the institution's mission to make science tangible, accessible, and genuinely fun. The exhibits invite curiosity instead of demanding expertise, which makes them just as engaging for adults as they are for children. Every visit reminds me that science belongs to everyone. As someone who teaches kids for a living, I know how difficult it is to create experiences that are both educational and exciting. The Exploratorium has been doing exactly that for decades, and they continue to set the standard. Their educators, exhibit designers, and staff have created something truly special. San Francisco is full of iconic landmarks, but for me, the Exploratorium will always be one of the city's greatest treasures. It played a role in shaping the person I became, and I have no doubt it will continue inspiring generations of curious minds. I was a science-loving kid when I first walked in, and, thankfully, I'm still a science-loving kid now.

My kids enjoyed but we also had to take breaks in-between. Why 3 stars you ask? It's a huge space, but all of the exhibits were similar to science museums we have in So Cal. Some things were broken or not operational the day we went. Lunch offerings were super healthy which is a plus. But we liked 2/4 entrees we ordered. Priced are as expected for museums. Logistics wise, you really have to come early to secure good parking. We came an hour after opening and street + parking lots were full. If you plan to come, I say it's a deal via City Pass, but I wouldn't pay full admission prices to go.

We went on a Wednesday morning during summer break. Tickets can be purchased online or in person; we bought ours on-site and there was no line. Inside, it was busy but not overcrowded, so it was still very enjoyable. Positives: - Clean and well maintained throughout. - Indoor, multi-level space that is accessible. - Convenient food court with multiple options. - Plenty of seating areas for taking short breaks. - A wide variety of exhibits and experiences. Our favorites were the Osher Rainforest and the Steinhart Aquarium. You can easily tailor your visit to be short or long depending on your pace. There is also a lot of engaging and educational information throughout the museum. Be sure to check the daily schedule posted on-site or online to learn about special exhibits and events. Negatives: The only downside was the bánh mì from the food court, which was underwhelming. Overall, I highly recommend the California Academy of Sciences. It is a great outing, especially for families with children.

This is a fun a little trip if you don't mind taking wacky pics like we do. Also, it would help if you don't mind lying on the floor. We enjoyed it, but I can see why the bad reviews of people expecting it to be much more. As long as you know what to expect, I still think it's an enjoyable experience. Pros: Cute murals that make for cool photos Fun family activity or with friends They have lockers for your stuff up front Cons: it's pretty pricey, and TBH, not worth $30 per person.
