The California Academy of Sciences is really getting in the holiday spirit this year.
This week, a pair of reindeer arrived at the museum. Yukon and Windy will be hanging out in the Academy’s east garden for watching, photographing, and even touching through the beginning of January.
SFGate has some very funny photos of the reindeer and Santa on the Academy’s living roof, where the animals were permitted to stop for a snack before continuing onto their next destination.
SPOILER ALERT: The reindeer rode the elevator up to the roof, just like the rest of us.
Other holiday treats at the Academy of Sciences include snow falling in the piazza a few times per hour, and an inflatable planetarium that looks like an igloo. They’ll show presentations on the North Pole and life in the Antarctic inside it.
On December 28, the Academy will also host another Penguins + Pajamas party where kids age 6 and up can overnight with a chaperone. How cool would it be to pull THAT from your stocking on Xmas morning?!
If you’re headed to the Academy this holiday season, there’s a couple of ways you can save on your admission ticket:
– If you’re got an iPhone, install the Academy’s free Golden Gate Park Field Guide app and show it at the door for $5 off; Nov. 29 through Dec. 24.
– Print out this newsletter from the Conservatory of Flowers and save $2 off your admission from Dec. 1-24.
