Cal Academy of Sciences

Only thing to watch out on free Wednesday is wait time before you enter. We reached around 10:15 (museum opens at 9:30), and have to wait 2 hours outside. However, wait outside was not bad, because the academy was in Golden Gate Park. We brought sandwiches. It also helped that there was another family which carpooled with us, so Prem played with other kid. I brought two flying planes (bought from Hiller Aviation Museum), so kids just had fun outside too.

Couple of other people who have been to museum on earlier free Wednesdays told that it generally takes around 45 minutes wait time, but may be because of spring break, there were lot of school busses which dropped kid yesterday, and they were not allowing people to enter till museum was relatively empty.

The museum created a Rain Forest which was unique (hot and humid in this 3 storey structure with in Museum), great aquarium, living roof, penguins, T-Rex, very good food, a few interactive screens and games for kids. We were the last one to come out of museum. Personally, I learnt a few new things and enjoyed it.
