Hi Joyce — All the exhibits at the California Academy of Sciences are free with admission. So on the free days, everything is free, including the new Snakes & Lizards area. If you’re driving, the parking garage can get expensive, so try to find a free spot on the street. Also, it’s best to get there really early on the free days because the museum fills up very fast.
Hi, I want to attend the Academy of Sciences on one of your Free Wednesdays. If I come on the third Wednesday do I have to pay a seperate admission to see Snakes & Lizards? If so, what is the cost on the free wednesday for seniors for Snakes & Lizards? Thanks. Also, do you have a cafe? Thanks!
Sincerely, Joyce Granville in the east bay.
