California Academy of Sciences: General Admission Ticket (Low Season) Details

The California Academy of Sciences, based in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, is home to a world-class aquarium, planetarium, rainforest, and natural history museum all under one living roof. Inside one of the greenest museums in the world, visitors find exhibits and experiences that can only be seen at the Academy including 40,000 animals living in the aquarium, the four-story rainforest with its free-flying birds and butterflies, one of the most accurate digital planetariums in the world, a variety of interactive programs and activities, and more!

With the California Academy of Sciences: General Admission Ticket (Low Season), you’ll experience the following highlights:

Steinhart Aquarium - Highlights include the Philippine Coral Reef, the California Coast tank, and Twilight Zone: Deep Reefs Revealed.
Osher Rainforest - A glass dome houses the four-story living rainforest, where birds and butterflies fly freely among lush tropical trees, plants, and other animals from around the world.
Living Roof - Visit our rolling green roof for views of Golden Gate Park and beyond. California wildflowers bloom in spring while dozens of native plants provide habitat for birds, bees, and butterflies year-round.
