California Academy of Sciences
The California Academy of Sciences will reopen in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park on September 27, 2008.
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 and awe-inspiring coral reef ecosystem will delight visitors of all ages, while interactive space shows will transport audiences beyond the boundaries of our planet. A landmark of sustainable architecture, the Academy will showcase its green features, making the building an exhibit in its own right.
