California Academy of Sciences




Today I went to San Francisco with Johnny to visit the new Academy of Sciences complex in Golden Gate Park. Originally established in 1853, the Academy is one of the 10th largest natural history museums in the world. It’s a beautiful space and a fun way to spend a couple of hours. It's overpriced $ 25 but our visit supports the Academy's mission to explore, explain and protect the natural world.
First thing we saw was a super long line, but didn’t take more than 10 minutes to buy a ticket. We got there at 11:00am, and when we went to check the restaurants we realized it was good a idea to bring some snack next time. The food was really expensive.



We start off in the main entrance which has a full size replica of a T-Rex skeleton ...
There's a cute albino alligator ...

We waited about 20 minutes in line to get into the rainforest...
Aquarium......spectacular !!!




Also, I guess that there are limited tickets for the planetarium shows, we couldn't get in.
Well, it was a nice day, but if you can go during the week ,I think is better.
Less people , strolleres, line, etc...
