Wow this place was awesome! A great place for all ages to enjoy. View dinosaur bones and many marine species. A Huge indoor atrium that is home to many different species of butterflies that fly everywhere around you...its quite an exciting experience. On the bottom level is the aquarium with many tanks with colorful fish and coral reefs. There is also a natural history museum with life size animals in picturesque settings. Wait there is more...A giant rooftop garden that overlooks golden gate park . This place has it all! Also I have to say we had lunch in the museum and it was very good tasting and fresh ingredients and many tables to sit and dine-in. All around 5 star experience i would absolutely recommend this place if you have small children...they will have an absolute blast here!!!!

The California Academy of Sciences is an amazing place that we keep coming back to. It’s spacious and packed with so much to see and explore. One of our favorite parts is taking the elevator down from the rainforest to the aquarium—it’s such a fun transition. The large tank in the aquarium always captures our attention, and we can spend a long time just watching the marine life. Cloud, the white alligator, is absolutely adorable! The special dinosaur exhibits are always impressive and worth seeing, no matter how many times we’ve visited. We also love enjoying a meal in the cafeteria while looking at the dinosaur displays. The kids’ play area is so much fun that it’s hard to get the children to leave once they’re in. It’s truly a wonderful place that we never get tired of visiting.

If you are a science nerd and are wondering about the V.I.P tour I say do it! It was so worth it! You really do actually get to go behind the scene and explore some of the areas scientists work in. Our tour guide is Teddy and they were amazing at explaining what the scientists do and how it is important while being entertaining and enthusiastic. Very educational, informative, and inspiring. I love people who are truly passionate in what they do. The actual museum itself is gorgeous! So many things to look at. A lot of good photo opportunities. The rainforest is hot and humid so watch out for that! I love the aquarium and Claude I didnt expect to see animals! I will definitely be visiting again

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).

The California Academy of Sciences is a must-visit for tourists in San Francisco. It’s a natural history museum, aquarium, planetarium, and rainforest all rolled into one awesome spot. The living roof is super cool, covered with native plants and solar panels. You’ve got to check out the indoor rainforest—it’s a four-story dome packed with plants and animals. The aquarium’s a highlight too, with sharks, rays, and jellyfish swimming around. Plus, the planetarium has neat shows about stars and space. It’s in Golden Gate Park, open every day from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Honestly, it’s a blast for all ages—tons of interactive exhibits and friendly staff who know their stuff. Perfect way to spend a day exploring science and nature without it feeling like a lecture!
