Very interesting place. Was able to see quite a few of the exhibits. Enjoyed the aquarium and planetarium the most.
Without a printer, my daughter and I had to trouble the Will Call operator to print out our tickets for us and he wasn't aware of the process. However, I called the Academy in advance and the lady who picked up the call said I just needed the booking number. Please confer with the Academy regarding travelers without printers who will only have mobile tickets.
it's always a great visit specially for my niece, 12 and my son, 3yrs old.
Nice experince but nothing extraordinary. The planetarium was great
Great weekend adventure.
Got a discount and got to skip the lines. Great deal!
We had such a great time! Our 2 daughters (ages 2 and 4) loved everything -- the aquarium, the rain forest, the African exhibit, the penguins, the living roof, and the albino alligator! The cafe looked and smelled yummy, but we had brought our own food and ate outside on the patio. It was awesome! The place wasn't too crowded - even on a Saturday. We went from opening at 9:30am until about 2pm. My kids were too young for the planetarium, but we'll definitely be back when they're old enough. Booking the tickets through Viator was super simple. We went to the guest services booth, got our tickets, and went straight to the Member line. Both girls even got cute Member stickers to wear all day. We're super satisfied!! Thanks!
A wonderful place to visit!
QUITE DISAPPOINTED IN THE "BEHIND THE SCENES PLATINUM TOUR". TOOK WAY TOO LONG, AND JUST A LOT OF TALK I WAS NOT MUCH INTERESTED IN. DID LIKE THE GEM EXHIBIT, AND THE REAL SCIENTISTS WORKING ON THEIR STUFF. THERE WERE NO LINES, SO THE "SKIP TO THE FRONT" WAS A MUTE ISSUE. WHEN WE FINALLY FINISHED THE TOUR WE ONLY HAD A LITTLE OVER 2 HOURS TO DO THE ENTIRE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES BUILDING.
LOVED THE FROGS!!!! AND RAIN FOREST.
IF I WERE TO GO BACK, I WOULD JUST GO TO THE ACADEMY, AND SKIP THE TOUR.
A great venue and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.
Love the Academy of Sciences, loved the discount, and appreciated the opportunity to spend some quality time with my fabulous little boy who, at 9yrs old, was fascinated by the pendulum and many of the Science exhibits. Thanks for making it possible!
Seven tickets waiting for us at the gate. No wait on line. Each saved $5. Great day!
Overall we had a very nice time. Checking in was a little more of a hassle then we thought it would be. And we now know that exhibits close several hours before closing time. We will have to go again and get there in the morning.
A great museum and aquarium.
The academy of Sciences visit was fun, this was our first visit to the new site and found old exhibits and lots of new ones. Rain Forest really insightful and Planetarium is always fun.
