California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park

Golden Gate Park

This is four attractions in one: a four-story rainforest dome, the Steinhart Aquarium, the Morrison Planetarium, and a natural history museum, all beneath a famous living roof. It’s a full half-day and worth it, especially with kids. Book a timed ticket online in advance, and if you’re 21-plus, the Thursday NightLife sessions are a calmer, cocktail-in-hand way to see the place.
