S California Academy of Sciences

The California Academy of Sciences (55 Music Concourse Dr., 415/379-8000, 9:30am-5pm Mon.-Sat., 11am-5pm Sun., $35 adults, $30 children 12-17, $25 children 4-11) is a triumph of the sustainable scientific principles it exhibits. From its grass-covered roof to its underground aquarium, the award-winning design by architect Renzo Piano exemplifies environmental ideals. Visitors can wander through the steamy Rainforests of the World exhibit, contained inside a 90-foot glass dome, or travel through an all-digital outer space in the high-tech Morrison Planetarium. More studious nature lovers can spend hours examining exhibits like the 87-foot-long blue whale skeleton. The Steinhart Aquarium includes a display of coral reef, tidepool, and swamp habitats, as well as a well-loved colony of African penguins. Kid-friendly, often interactive exhibits offer endless opportunities for learning.
