California Academy of Sciences

California Academy of Sciences is a great place for both families and the young at heart to experience amazing exhibits of science that are fun enough to make you forget you're learning too! This multi-faceted, scientific institution is a world leader in research, and is always dreaming up new ways to engage the public.

Within the Academy is a rainforest biosphere you can walk through, a massive planetarium, an albino alligator, penguin habitat and many other rotating exhibits. Above it all is the living roof, an undulating, grass-covered surface that actually helps the building be more eco-friendly.
