Free admission to Academy of Sciences for Richmond residents

Posted on by Sarah B.

The annual Spring Free Days at the California Academy of Sciences are here! From May 15 through May 17, residents of the Richmond District can get in free (also for residents of Western Addition, Pac Heights, Laurel Heights and Presidio). If you live within the zip codes 94121, 94118, 94115 and 94129, you qualify.

To get in, bring proof of residence to the ticket window on any of the free days. Valid proof of residency includes:

  • Postmarked envelope, postcard, or magazine label with name and date
  • Driver’s license or ID card issued in past six months
  • Utility bill (gas/electric/cable), bank statement, or letter from a government agency that has your name and home address (not a P.O. Box)

    Academy Free Days are also offered on the first Wednesday of each month to anyone, and our ‘hood will enjoy free admission again in the fall from October 2 – 4, 2009. For more information on the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park, visit http://www.calacademy.org/.

    While you’re there, don’t miss the new Super Falcon submarine that is on display.

    My favorite part of the Academy is the multi-level rainforest; I just can’t get over those butterflies and all the activity that’s happening in there when you stop and really take a close look. What’s your favorite thing at the Academy?
