If you’re live in or are visiting the San Francisco Bay Area and are searching for the perfect geek chic night on the town, you must check out Nightlife at the California Academy of Sciences.
Nightlife is an event that takes place Thursday nights from 6 to 10pm. Tickets are $12 (less than half the cost of normal daytime admission). Think of it as a cocktail party in a science museum; it’s ages 21 and up and you should dress to impress.
My favorite museum feature, Claude the Albino Alligator, even has his own bar. After getting drinks at Claude’s bar, my friend and I sipped our cocktails while perusing the aquarium and then we explored the natural history museum.

Some good things to keep in mind if you’re planning to attend:
- order tickets online in advance; I got my tickets online the week of but the day of it was sold out
- we were able to find free street parking about 1/4 mile away in Golden Gate park despite the fact that the event was sold out
- if you want to visit the rainforest you need to do so before 8pm as it closes early
