1st visit to SF and to this science museum. Very impressed - reminds me of a much smaller scale, more modern version of the London History Museum.

This is, in no way, a zoo. yes there are some birds and butterflies; and yes there’s an aquarium but not like you’re probably expecting.  Tons of underwater and deep sea organisms. The coral reef is incredibly beautiful and to my untrained eye, looks healthy and well cared for. This museum hosts a ton of artifacts. It also has an impressive mineral and stone area.

the play area is wonderful.

i highly recommend supporting this institution. if i lived here, id invest in a membership and go a couple of times a year (or more if hosting friends/family).

Love love loved the academy of sciences ever since I was a kid and I’m happy to share  the experiences with my own little ones.

Their dinosaur exhibit is totally worth it as there are some places just charging for dinosaurs.

Aquariums are well kept and a great option if you like marine life and other animals.
The rainforest still is well maintained but I didn’t notice as many butterflies on this trip as we saw previously.

We were lucky to snag some tickets for their Academy Day which brought the price down to $5 per person or whatever you can donate and kids under 3 are free!
Definitely will make the trip out here again!

Best place in SF for: nature,museum, aquarium, no stress environment. Learn something new each time you go. You can spend hours here and still want to come back. Get yourself a family plus membership if you want to bring another family with you each time (kids are free). So 4 adults means your kid will be hosting a lot of free museum visits for others. This is good for people wanting to make friends in preschool and Kindergarten. Don’t pay for parking- walk across the baseball field and park for free. It’s a beautiful walk.

Worth visiting once, but not something you’d return to multiple times. Well-maintained and good for spending half a day, though the interactive zone only includes fossils and bones.

Full review:
It’s worth checking out if you’ve never been, but it’s not the kind of place you’d want to visit two or three times.

They advertise an “interactive zone,” but it mainly consists of touching fossils, bones, or models of dead creatures — not live animals.

It’s more interesting than a basic petting zoo, but it still falls short compared to larger or more famous zoos.

That said, the facility is well-maintained and has enough to keep you occupied for half a day.

The California Academy of Sciences is an impressive place, though quite busy. There were many school groups during my visit, which made the atmosphere quite loud. The ticket cost $49, which felt a bit high, but the experience was worth it—especially the aquarium. I really enjoyed the coral reef and jellyfish exhibits. It might be more enjoyable in the afternoon when it’s hopefully less crowded.
