California Academy of Sciences

The California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park opened a few weekends ago after being under renovation since 2005. I heard people have been flocking to the Academy for the past few weeks trying to get a coveted look inside at the newly renovated building and astounding exhibits.

The Academy is free to the public on the third Wednesday of each month (which, I’m sure, means that everyone and their mother will be there trying to get in). Normally the regular adult admission price is $25…not that it’s terribly expensive, but it’s not cheap either. So I think I’m going to have to bite the bullet one of these days and plan on taking a day off and paying $25 to get a peek at the Academy.

On the top of my list is the aquarium exhibits, the four-story rainforest display and…well just looking at the architecture of the new building…I hear it’s amazing. As for when I’m hoping to go…the sooner the better, although I think everyone is thinking the same thing, so it might be awhile. When I go, I actually want to be able to see the exhibits, as opposed to having to fight through throngs of people to simply touch the railing.

Aw well…those are my thoughts for today. If you can get me secret clearance into the building...or just want to go, let me know.
