California Academy of Sciences Grand Opening

Unveiling

The California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park opened its door yesterday. It had been closed for years in order to retrofit the building and make it sustainable. I haven't been inside yet, but the architecture looks cool. There is also a "living roof" on top of the building, which makes it unique.

This natural history museum is a "must visit" for all kids who have gone through the San Francisco school system. I remember going there on field trips and looking at their dioramas and waiting excitedly to get on the museum's sole "ride", which was a little platform that shook to emulate the strength of the April 18, 1906 earthquake. Ah, memories!
