Description:

Go behind the glass for an exclusive look at the Steinhart Aquarium in the California Academy of Sciences. Your all-access pass lets you uncover the fascinating processes and people that maintain the Academy’s massive collection of aquatic plants and animal life.

Led by an experienced guide, go behind the watery curtain and meet the biologists responsible for almost 40,000 creatures. Check out the methods used to ensure the aquarium’s living exhibits—from colorful butterflies to exotic fish—are preserved in expansive habitats that offer stunning similarity to their natural environments. You might even get up-close peeks at the resident albino alligator, named Claude. In the kitchen, find out what these amazing animals like to eat and see how the center manages to create its own perfect blend of salt water.

Emerge from your exclusive tour and use the other benefits of your privileged pass, including VIP and express entry to the Osher Rainforest and the immersive exhibit, Earthquake. For the outer space-inclined, enjoy reserved seats at the Planetarium. Before you leave, don’t forget to take advantage of discounts at the gift shop, full of memorable souvenirs and educational toys, or grab a delicious and freshly made dish at one of the Academy’s cafes.
