It looks like a great place to visit but sadly just found out you have to be vaccinated in order to enter. I understand COVID is contagious but it's a norm now. Just take precautions and wear mask. Vaccinated or not both individual can still get COVID. I will go somewhere else where Im not judge by vaccine.

Great place to visit. The California of Science Academy has so much to do and you are able to see everything in one visit. The aquarium was lovely, but is small. The rainforest exhibit was beautiful. Also they have a botanical garden, where you can do a picnic. Overall experience was amazing!

The California Academy of Sciences is a wonderful place. Beautiful aquarium, living roof, animal exhibits, 4 story bio dome with birds and butterflies. An absolute must see.

This is the aquarium to see. The rainforest exhibit is amazing, and the depth of the aquarium is breathtaking. Truly a treasure among the aquariums in California.

This was my first time at the academy of science and I was so impressed. My favorite exhibits were the different aquariums and the rainforest. The penguin exhibit was a bit underwhelming and when they advertise sleeping with the penguins I expected more.

I was wondering why the ticket prices were so high for this aquarium, but after my visit, I understood why. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. There is so much to see and experience! It's more than just an aquarium. There are other types of well

I also am wondering why the ticket prices are so high. If all that was here was the aquarium what an utter disappointment. Small, crowded, uncontrolled mass of humanity replete with constantly ear piercing shrieking children in a confined

Here right now and loving it. This has been a great day with my wife. No sharks here but still amazing.

Food in cafeteria was somewhat ok, which isn't surprising. The museum displays and the settings are beautiful. Loved the aquarium and butterfly arboretum. It was interesting. Worth visiting. Great for kids.

What a great experience! Academy of Sciences and Steinhart Aquarium, a wonderful scientific show. Lunch and snacks can be purchased there as well as parking. A day well spent.

Took baby for his 1st birthday - he had a blast. I was a little lost in the aquarium corridors chasing him and dodging the 5k kids who were on a field trip.

Loved as a child and now even my Adult Children love coming Here too. Wheelchair friendly. And they can lend you one if needed.

We had a great experience; the price was a bit steep, but we still had fun aquarium was really nice as well

It was great! It was a little hot temperature wise, and a little expensive but we had a great time!

This place definitely looks like fun I have not visited it yet but I am adding it to my list

Very informative, and kid friendly. Mask required throughout whole building.

Wonderful experience and perfect way to share a love of nature with others

The aquarium is interesting but seems like it’s mainly for kids.

Nice spot to ta ke the little ones

Amazing place for kids and adults
