Just updated the Cal Academy deals and coupon codes to reflect the new prices for Summer 2013. Hint: we have the scoop on the best price now.
Yes, that is currently the best deal for Cal Academy, unless you want to go for the custom card, with two or more attractions to save 15%. My contact at California Academy of Sciences says they are gearing down the discounts except for the CityPASS and Go Card offers where the discount is nonspecific. Actually we were surprised to even see this 10% off deal still out there.
I just see 10% off is that the highest discount available
With the California Academy of Sciences deal just posted, you can buy 10% off tickets. This is the only offer anywhere at this time.
Ooh! Any chance the 20% off membership deal will be back in the future? That would make my year.
That’s great Becca — I’m glad lots of folks are enjoying this special offer. It’s one of my favs.
Thanks! The discount code worked great, saved me $15.99!
When I was younger I visited the old California Academy of Sciences. It was one of the most enriching, fun, educational moments in my youth. I am now mentoring a middle school youth living in East Oakland. I want to be able to share what I experienced when I was younger with him as well as see the new California Academy of Sciences and experience something new together. It would be a great chance to fuse our generations together in an educational environment. As a bonus he would be psyched to know that we won the tickets and I would too!!
I love the aquarium exhibits! There are just so many awesome fish and other marine life there.
I love the aquarium exhibits. So many different fish from all over the world. It’s amazing! The rainforest area is also great.
We are new to the Bay Area and everyone we’ve met here says we should go to the California Academy of Sciences, but we haven’t had the opportunity to make a trip up there yet. My son is turning 10 on St. Patrick’s Day, and this would really make a wonderful, very special birthday surprise trip!
We have not had an opportunity to go the California Academy of Sciences but have always wanted to! I would love to take my family to experience the entire museum.
We love the penguins!
We had great times last year when we received a one year gift membership from the grandparents. This year we do not have membership (just too expensive for the budget) but my kids keep asking for the rain forest and the spiders. We have many great memories of the Cal Academy and wish that someone gives us a special gift again! Please, pretty please!!!!!
Thanks, Adrienne
Last time we visited CalAcademy, my daughter didn’t want to leave the toddler room. We need to go back so we can see the other exhibits!
My best memory was on Mothers day two years ago; we took a big family trip and went and saw the rainforest, all the butterflies were amazing! Now that my son is walking and able to appreciate i would love another family trip.
My favorite exhibit is the rainforest. I remember standing there as still as a tree with my arms extended and having the butterflies land on my hand. I would love to win tickets so I can visit and also bring a friend with me.
I haven’t been since I was a kid. I always loved checking out the alligators. I have not been yet since it was re-done and have been wanting to go for a long time. I would love to win tickets so I could take my niece and nephew.
Being able to look up and down in the different levels of The Rainforest is an outstanding memory for me. We’d love to win.
I want to see the albino alligator!
One very small thing that sticks in my memory, but I love the jellyfish that swim upsidedown. I would like to be entered to win the tickets.
I have been wanting to visit the new California Academy of Sciences since it opened but have been unable for two reasons: $ and, one time we went after it just opened and we couldn’t get in, it was all sold out! We live a good hour away, so it takes planning to go. But I have so many memories of the original Academy: I used to love the planetarium shows and the dinosaur and Savannah exhibits with the sounds of the terrain. I used to also love looking at the Geological exhibits of rare stones. Thanks!
We really want to go! We tried to go the first winter but the lines were crazy. Now, we just can’t afford to go so free tickets would be a welcome treat. (we are in school on Wednesdays now)
We haven’t been to the new Academy of Sciences yet, mainly because of the cost. We would love some free tickets!!!
I still remember the two headed snake when I visited the Academy as a teenager so many years ago. I haven’t visited the new Academy since it was redone.
I haven’t been since I was a child. Then I always liked seeing the penguins.
i love inside snow!
The museums amazing, but you can’t go and not stop at the café! I wanna win!
We’ve taken the kids once & we all had a great time. Cal Academy is world class and really like 4-museums-in-1. The rainforest and the aquarium underneath are unique and amazing. We’d love to go back.
We can spend ALL day and would love to – soon! Your butterflies are dreamy and all the reptiles are so colorful & amazing. Claud was so great as Santa Claud during Christmas time. Please keep up the good work and continue reaching out to the community – more people need to have access to your site!!!
My son can’t get enough of the fish tank – we’ve spent all day here! Love it!
Love the rainforest exhibit! Need to return to experience the planetarium!!
I have a fascination with natural sciences as long as I can remember. I have dreamed of having the chance to see the Academy of Sciences. I regularly go on their website to see the latest information. I would love to win this contest!
I haven’t been to the new Academy of Sciences because it’s on the expensive side – winning tickets would remove that excuse!
My infant is always mesmerized by the fish at the aquarium!! Never too young to visit….He loves it there!
Going to get my tickets today!! My daughter loves this place – going to take her and a few friends for their birthday! Would love some free tickets!!
I haven’t been to the newly designed Academy of Sciences yet, can’t wait. Here it is wonderful, especially the rainforest. Hope to win tickets.
Love Cal Academy of Sciences – never get tired. Love the acquarium exhibit the best!
I would love to take my wife and daughter to this. We have never been to the new Academy but have been trying to get there!
I love to take my parents and grandmother and aunt to see the new Academy.
They haven’t been back to the Academy since they first immigrated to the U.S. It’s been about
25 years now. It would be great to show them the changes since then.

We have two young, budding scientists. They both want to be veterinarians; it’s what they have talked about – every day – for two more than two years. They are our adopted (former foster) children – ages 4 and 7. They love the California Academy and would like the chance to visit again. They need to see and study animals to help their dreams come true.

Please enter me in the contest to win the complimentary tickets. I love going to the Academy, however, It’s been difficult in this economy to maintain an annual membership. The first year I was given a membership for my birthday, I visited 4-5 times. It’s a great place to visit, and the Cafe has many great eating options.
My kids are excited to visit. Hope we win the complimentary tickets
I would like to be entered for the tickets!
I would LOVE to take my daughter back to the Academy of Science. We went when it first opened and due to being unemployed, it’s not likely I’ll be going anytime soon.
