In my previous post, I mentioned Nightlife at the California Academy of Sciences. This is a truly "only in San Francisco" event every Thursday. A DJ comes in, cocktails are served, there are special lectures and planet viewings on the living roof and the museum is open only to those over 21 years of age--no strollers!
I've been to several Nightlifes, including the very first one where there was no line for the Rainforest and a relatively sparse crowd. Nowdays the crowd is bigger but just as much fun. And the price is right--half the daytime entry fee.
Here are some videos from most recent one I attended.
Water spider! A big guy, I was happy for the glass between us, though I couldn't stop looking at him/her(?). Though I have yet to see it, he/she walks on water. So long as that doesn't happen in my bathtub, I'm cool with him/her.
Sea Dragons! Though they look like seaweed, they are in fact animals, like even more magical sea horses. Someday when I am fantastically wealthy I will have a tank of these.
80-something year old Giant Sea Bass. This guy is enormous. And awesome, if slow moving. Sorry for the length of this one, but I had a front row view of him turning around. Rather like watching a semi-truck turn.
Finally, this funny guy is a Frog Fish.
