Beautiful New Home The new home for the Academy of Sciences has opened in Golden Gate Park - what a fantastic job they did - the new fish displays are beautiful - the rain forest is great - they saved some of the old and mixed it with the new - cannot wait to see the roof garden this spring when all the flowers are in bloom - a great place to spend on a rainy day - the staff is friendly and helpful -

California Academy Of Science was an enriching experience The California Academy Of Sciences is a huge natural science museum cum planetarium cum aquarium all build under one roof. The plethora of things you get to see, learn and experience is truly mind blowing. I became an inquisitive kid all over again. Do not miss the 'Rain forests of the world'.

We cannot wait for the new one to open in 2008. The Howard Street temporary version features high quality exhibits that engage explorers of all ages to look, touch and experience science up close. The current large exhibit, Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries, is a winner. We saw how dinosa... read more
