-What you can expect-
Located in the heart of San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, the California Academy of Sciences is the world's only aquarium, planetarium, rainforest, and natural history museum all housed under one incredible living roof. With hands-on exhibitions, shows, and public programs, all included in the price of admission, you're in for an action-packed science adventure.

Be immersed in one of the world's deepest living indoor coral reefs, home to nearly 60,000 live animals. Meet a colony of playful penguins in African Hall. Step inside a lush, four-story rainforest teeming with life – from free-flying birds to exotic reptiles, amphibians, and more. Descend from a lush rainforest canopy to the pitch darkness of a bat cave. Journey from the golden grass of the prairie to an invisible underground realm teeming with life. Sink from creaking ice floes to the frigid depths where whales dance.

The immersive exhibition transports visitors through six different ecosystems, revealing Earth's mysterious, magical worlds through ultra high-resolution video projections, ambient soundscapes, nature-inspired scents, and interactive animal avatars. Step into an unforgettable, embodied experience that awakens the senses and unlocks hidden worlds and unexpected perspectives.

The adventure continues outside with unique rooftop views on the 2.5 acre living roof. Then, take an opportunity to activate your child's curiosity about the natural world in the outdoor nature play and exploration space, Wander Woods.
