Friendly docents, incredible specimens and collections. Great for us – a couple of history lovers – but also for kids! Lots to see and touch and explore! Check out the gift shop for some beautiful sustainable trinkets and souvenirs.

Visited with 5 adults on a Saturday afternoon during a Pride Parade, and it still was not too crowded. Felt the price of admission (about $25/adult) was worth the value and experience for all you get to see and learn.
About 5 floors (including basement) with dedicated areas to different species. Gift shop and restrooms.

There so many attractions to visit that around this place that one day is not enough, as an adult i enjoyed visiting with my significant other and had a blast learning and admiring so many things about animals, they have fossils from dinosaurs to extinct species that were native from California. What i was amazed is that they have a huge living frog that I think it's about 12-15 inches long. Kids would love this place.
