Program details

Filled with hundreds of exhibits and thousands of animals, the California Academy of Sciences has something for everyone to enjoy. Ideal for a family day out, prepare to be amazed as you learn all about the planet's diversity and biology. Explore earth, ocean and space, all in one place.



The California Academy of Sciences is the only place in the world to combine a natural history museum, aquarium, planetarium and world-class research and education facility under one roof. All housed in the world's largest public green building designed by award winning architect Renzo Piano.



Topped with a living roof, a 2.5 acre expanse of native California plants, providing a habitat for birds, butterflies and insects, it blends seamlessly into the beautiful landscape of San Francisco's iconic Golden Gate Park. Daily interactions with animals, educators, and biologists within immersive, hands-on exhibits offer discovery and wonder for guests of all ages. The Academy will inspire lifelong curiosity and appreciation for the natural world as you experience the depths of a Philippine coral reef, climb into the canopy of a Costa Rican rainforest and fly to the outer reaches of the Universe.
