The New Academy of Sciences, SF

We took Molly to the newly remodeled Academy of Sciences in SF the day before her birthday. It was absolutely amazing: huge floor to ceiling aquariums, an enclosed four-story rain forest, penguins, dinosaur fossils, a living roof, and so much more. We had a lovely time and became members so that we can go back whenever we want (and whenever the lack of crowds allows!)

In the outside Cafe area there is a lovely grassy space for kids to run and play

A butterfly landed on this woman's head. We thought it was pretty cool.
