The Rain Forest at the California Academy of Sciences

Posted by george on January 1st, 2009


The new California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco.

The museum is wonderful, especially the ran forest. But the long line to get in (one hour on a day when most people were off work or school) and for the rain forest (half an hour) meant that we didn’t have time to see the new Morrison Planetarium.

That, along with the Steinhart Aquarium, is a carry over from the old museum. But what was lacking were the astronomy exhibits that were next to the old planetarium, the simulated earthquake, and all the ethnographic exhibits about Native Americans and foreign cultures.

Hopefully these will be added later.
