FREE ADMISSION to the Academy of Sciences (Event Over)

Where: California Academy of Sciences
Address: 55 Music Concourse Drive, Golden Gate Park San Francisco, CA Map
Cost: FREE!

Event Over

Editors' Take

The new Academy of Sciences would be that much cooler if it weren't so expensive. Oh, wait, third Wednesdays are free! Pack your lunches, kiddies, we're going on a field trip.

The new Academy of Sciences sounds SO DOPE, with a digital planetarium, an aquarium, a natural history museum and a walk-in natural rainforest. BUT regular adult admission costs 25 bones. Bummer.

BUT WAIT. There are a few hidden free day gems, you just have to know where to find them. Score!

FREE DAYS AT THE ACADEMY:

*Every third Wednesday - always free.

*Certain weekends in Spring and Fall are free if you can prove that you live in a certain zipcode. Check their handy-dandy chart for your special free day!

Make note that the Academy is always busy. "Club Academy of Science" on Thursdays is no exception. It's a different learning experience with a cocktail in hand. That's one main difference, plus no strollers/kids. Of course, the DJ's music, and touring a museum at night! We bought tickets online for $10.

Oh yeah, the "gar" is a trippy, surreal fish from Texas, of all places.

What is the best thing to see at the Academy of Sciences? I'm planning a trip there soon and want to make sure I have enough time to check out the best part as Free Admission Days are probably extremely busy!
