California Academy of Sciences

As the greenest museum in the world, the California Academy of Sciences is literally a living, breathing landmark. Under one living roof, you can meet splashing penguins in African Hall, visit a four-story living rainforest and awe-inspiring Philippine coral reef ecosystem, and travel to the outer reaches of the Universe in an interactive space show. To top it all off, take a trip to the 2.5-acre living roof, where you will find 1.7 million plants that are native to California. Touch a sea star, meet an Academy scientist, or get up-close-and-personal with an anaconda, and get inspired to help make our world a greener, more sustainable place to live.
