Children - Attractions

While the California Academy of Sciences and Steinhart Aquarium rebuild in Golden Gate Park, they are open every day of the year at 875 HOWARD STREET in downtown San Francisco (between 4th and 5th Streets).

Come face-to-face with penguins, piranhas, pythons, and thousands of other aquarium animals. Watch penguin feedings, slither through Snake Alley, and find Nemo in the two-story coral reef tank.

View poison dart frogs, box turtles, sea horses, and clown fish in jewel tanks. Get an up-close look at sturgeon, giant sea bass, alligator snapping turtles, gars, and moray eels. Get close and personal with sea stars and hermit crabs at the Discovery Tide Pool. Enjoy the penguins as they preen on land and swim underwater. Don't miss penguin feedings which happen every day at 11 am and 3:30 pm. Interact with aquatic biologists as they study, feed, and care for the animals.

The Academy in Golden Gate Park is closed until late 2008 when rebuilding is complete. The Third Thursday of every month, the Academy is open late. General admission is $5 for everyone. Members get in free of charge.

Sarah Winchester built a home that is an architectural marvel. Unlike most homes of its era, this 160-room Victorian mansion had modern heating and sewer systems, gas lights that operated by pressing a button, three working elevators, and 47 fireplaces.
From rambling roofs and exquisite hand inlaid parquet floors to the gold and silver chandeliers and Tiffany art glass windows, you will be impressed by the staggering amount of creativity, energy, and expense poured into each and every detail.

Winchester Estate Tour includes:

Guided Mansion Interior Tour:
65 minute tour featuring 110 of the 160 rooms.
