During a little trip to the city, we decided to check out The Academy of Science in San Francisco. It's a beautiful museum in Golden Gate Park - and we had never been.
Inside, there is an incredible rainforest with birds and butterflies flying freely, massive aquariums, and a 40 minute presentation about earth, the solar system and the universe. It was really neat and we learned a lot and had fun! Their cafe inside is delicious, too!

"Claude" the albino alligator at the museum - very rare! Doesn't he look fake!
Sabrina & I in the aquarium - so many beautiful and colorful fish
The living roof
I definitely recommend it if you are taking a trip to the city. It's a little pricey ($30 per person) but we spent more than a few hours in there and it really is a neat place!
Have you been?

Wow! How have I never known about this? I'll have to go there the next time I'm in the city. Great photos!
They have a museum at night thing they do where they serve drinks. I think it's adults only :)
the living roof is so cool!
What is the living roof? looks cool!
This is so neat! If I ever take a vacation there I'd love to visit it! It sounds so neat, and I love taking trips where I learn things!
And you're right, the alligator does look fake!

We've taken Belle a couple of times, it's amazing! Especially for kids. It is pricey, but I think it's free the first Wednesday of every month.
