California Academy of Sciences – A $488 Million Dollar Museum slid underneath Golden Gate Park

On September 27, 2008 one of the BEST family destinations will be re-opening in San Francisco.  Hidden below its 2.5 acre living roof, a wonderful museum, aquarium, living 4 story rainforest and state of the art digital planetarium will emerge from 3 years of reconstruction.I recently took tour to sneak a peek at the new facility and came away quite impressed. Families will be able to journey across Africa, visit the coral reefs of the world, see eye to eye with a giant crocodile or stand beneath 6000 pound blue whale skeleton.
