Celebrate the season with falling snow, festive activities, and more at ‘Tis the Season for Science at the CAL Academy of Science through January 5, 2025.
What has two humps, four antlers, and 24 hooves? A pair of baby camels, reindeer, and yaks, of course—and they’re hoofing it to the Academy this holiday!
Music and magic
Take a break between exhibits to enjoy a live show! Over a dozen local cultural groups will perform in the Piazza, from choruses to Polynesian dancers to master magicians.
Pop-up programs
Interactive experiences abound on every floor of the museum: Slide into the Ice Lab to conduct cool experiments on the connection between salinity and ice, see a penguin-themed puppet show, create your own wintry crafts, and tour the starry skies in the planetarium.
Winter weather
Flurries are in the forecast for San Francisco! Twirl under (non-allergenic, biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-staining) snow swirling in the Piazza twice an hour.
Events are free with admission. CAL Academy hours will vary during holidays. Save money and time by purchasing your tickets in advance.
Please double check the event information on the event website as sometimes events are canceled or details changed after they are added to CelebrateFamily.us. REPORT EVENT
