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, 4-story rainforest dome 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.
