About California Academy of Sciences

The California Academy of Sciences is the only institution in the world to combine a museum, aquarium, planetarium, and world-class research and education programs under one living roof. The Academy is redefining what it means to be a natural history museum in our new Platinum LEED certified facility in Golden Gate Park. Visitors interact daily with animals, educators, and biologists within immersive, hands-on exhibits. And the research collections that form our foundation do not just sit in storage; they are used in cutting edge research about biodiversity and sustainability.
