Brief Description:

From a four-story rainforest and living coral reef to a 2.5-acre living roof and all-digital planetarium, Academy exhibits are both impactful and engaging. Self-guided field trips give teachers the opportunity to create their own itinerary and focus on exhibits that fit their curriculum. Discover ways to expand the educational impact of your field trip by attending a teacher workshop (link to http://www.sfecoliteracy.com/california-academy-of-sciences-teacher-workshops.html) and downloading pre and post-visit activities, scavenger hunts, and chaperone guides from our website. You can also add an educational program to your visit, or borrow resources from the Naturalist Center. For more information, visit www.calacademy.org/teachers/fieldtrips. Programs are based on availability.
