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. Then pay a visit to the iconic alligator with albinism, Claude. Step inside a lush, four-story rainforest teeming with life – from free-flying birds to exotic reptiles, amphibians, and more. Catch the latest immersive show in the 75-foot planetarium, taking you on a spectacular journey to the far reaches of the universe, featuring different themes at varying times throughout the day.

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 our outdoor nature play and exploration space, Wander Woods. There’s something for someone of every age to enjoy. Plus, every visit supports the Academy's mission to regenerate the natural world.
