Editorial Review for California Academy of Sciences – by Citysearch Editor
For those who think science museums are reserved for third grade field trips and retired seniors, this remarkable space dedicated to biology, astronomy, zoology and ecology will blow your mind. Forget the dust and mothballs and boring text placards that no one ever reads--the academy's new design features an aquarium, planetarium, natural history museum (complete with stuffed gorillas and zebras), self-contained rainforest, living roof and two top-notch dining establishments (a full-service restaurant highlighting sustainable ingredients and an international food court-style cafe) from local chefs Charles Phan and Loretta Keller. Besides the innovative exhibits on the inside, the architecture alone stands out for its creative design that blends naturally into the back drop of Golden Gate Park, a testament to the eco-friendly focus of this new educational destination.
