Academy Of Sciences To Host Phone-Free NightLife And Art Lab This August
NightLife is back with more fun after-dark festivities at the California Academy of Sciences.
NightLife at the California Academy of Sciences is one of our favorite ongoing events, and we’re thrilled to see more of these awesome themed soirees on the calendar! The popular Thursday night festivities feature live DJs, outdoor bars, ambience lighting, and more alongside the Academy’s nearly 40,000 animal residents.
Here’s what’s on the docket this month:
- August 4: NightLife – No set theme.
- August 11: NightLife: IRL – A phone-free NightLife dedicated to life offline.
- August 18: Art Lab – An interactive evening dedicated to the intersection of science and art.
At these adults-only (21+) events, guests can experience the Academy in a whole new light. Explore the four-story Osher Rainforest aflutter with free-flying birds and butterflies (last entry 7:30pm), or the enormous living Philippine Coral Reef, one of the largest such exhibits in the world. Morrison Planetarium is also available with four showtimes, which you can attend with a $5 Planetarium pass. Don’t forget to pay a visit to Claude the albino alligator before enjoying a craft cocktail and small bites on the West Garden outdoor patio.
Be sure to book your NightLife ticket ASAP, as tickets often sell out! Prices vary between $15-22 and Planetarium passes cost another $5.
The Academy of Sciences has some of the most advanced research facilities and fascinating exhibits in the world. If you haven’t been to the Academy (or if, like us, it’s been way too long since your last visit), there’s no limit to the amazing experiences you can have.
Find the Academy of Sciences at 55 Music Concourse Drive in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.
