Visit the ‘Greenest Museum in the World’ – The California Academy of Sciences is the only place in the world to combine a natural history museum, aquarium, planetarium and world-class research facility. Home to Steinhart Aquarium, Kimball Natural History Museum, Morrison Planetarium, and world-class research and education programs, the California Academy of Sciences is one of San Francisco’s must-see destinations.

A four-story living rainforest and awe-inspiring coral reef ecosystem will delight visitors of all ages, while immersive space shows will transport audiences beyond the boundaries of our planet.
