No way I would take my kids to San Francisco, though. Could this be the reason for poor attendance?

It's one reason I think. I've personally avoided S.F. for years. But I think Obama's policies are the most important reason. High unemployment, inflationary food costs and gas at $4+ a gallon isn't the best way to stimulate tourism.

I went about 20 years ago, and can’t imagine how it would need that many employees. Atlanta had a similar thing for about a decade that went under completely.

Some.

It's mostly real science by demonstration rather than lecture, and presented in a way that children engage, but they do have a leftist bias, and present "consensus" on AGW climate change as proved fact.

“Several probable reasons...”

Remember, they are competing with the Tech Museum, as well. Kids in the East Bay and South Bay go there. Lots of fun.

with 400 employees? Really? It must cost $40 for admission.
