What a find! The museum of science it absolutely the best way to spend a chilly afternoon. Loved the planetarium and rainforest especially.

More then I expected. Tix and parking a lil expensive but what else can u expect from SF. Area around the museum was clean with plenty of space for my 7 and 5yr old 2 run around. They even had food trucks out there to enjoy if u didnt wanna eat inside the museum. The museum was clean (bathrooms ) yes. Staff was friendly . The journey thru the stars show was great but maybe 8-10min to long imo. Defenitley worth a day trip.

The showings throughout the day are fantastic, definitely plan to see one of them during your visit! The graphics really are immersive.

I'd definitely recommend a visit to the planetarium. I was sceptical that this was a worthwhile use of my time given I only had a weekend in the city, but the half hour showing was comfortable, fun and educational; just lean back and be immersed in the universe! Particularly impressive was how current the information was. The presentation is apparently remade a few times per year anyway, but at one point the in-house narrator interrupted to give the results of some findings from the last month. The only reason I could find to advise against visiting is that afterwards you can't help but leave with a feeling that you're an immeasurably small part of a very large universe. If that might bother you, maybe think twice!

Questions & Answers

can i buy a ticket just for the planetarium?

No, you cannot gain admission to the planetarium separately. The Morrison Planetarium is located inside the CalAcademy, so you'll have to purchase general admission tickets to the California Academy of Sciences first. (Think of it like this: pay for the planetarium & get everything else for free.) Then once inside, you can make free reservations either online using the QR code or URL on display inside the CalAcademy or with help from a staff member for a planetarium showing that day. (There are usually 6 or 7 shows daily.) If seats are unavailable, you can keep checking back online, as they may release more tickets throughout the day. Or you can wait in the standby line, which nearly always lets people in. TIP: Ask for help by the entrance off to the left near the stingray pool. They can often get you reservations even if it says there are no more reservations available online. If not, they can still tell you where to wait for standby. I have always been able to get seats this way.

Does the planetarium still have the Lazer show?
