Our guide to California Academy of Sciences Skip-the-Line General Admission Ticket

Explore the depths of a Philippine coral reef, climb into the canopy of a Costa Rican rainforest and fly to the outer reaches of the Universe at the amazing California Academy of Sciences.

Stroll through the rainforest dome with its free flying birds and butterflies and become immersed in the rainforests of Borneo, Madagascar, Costa Rica and the flooded Amazon. Discover Borneo bats, chameleons, poison dart frogs, leaf cutter ants, gliders, snakes and so much more.

Don’t miss the latest amazing digital planetarium show ‘Journey to the Stars’ narrated by actress and activist Whoopi Goldberg who takes you on a journey through time and space to experience the dramatic lives and deaths of stars, witness brilliant supernova explosions, dive into the heart of the fiery sun and watch it transform into a giant red ball five billion years in the future (7-10 times a day).

Rocket through the galaxy at the speed of light and journey deep into the Oceans of the World as the Academy boldly brings ‘life to life’. Come face to face with snakes and piranhas, meet Claude the Albino Alligator and hang out with Pierre, Howard, Ocio and the rest of the South African Penguin colony.
