California Academy of Sciences Description

Topped with a living roof, the newly rebuilt California Academy of Sciences is home to an aquarium, planetarium and natural history museum. From the splashing penguins in African Hall to the wildflowers on the 2.5-acre living roof, the building is bursting with life. A four-story living rainforest allows you to explore the ecosystems of Borneo, Madagascar, Costa Rica and the flooded Amazon. In the world's deepest living coral reef tank, you'll see thousands of reef fish darting through a technicolor forest of coral, alongside a sea turtle, sharks, and rays cruising through a mangrove lagoon. Penguin feedings, coral reef dives, and other programs will take place every day.
