Visitors to the California Academy of Sciences can revel in the wonder of ‘Tis the Season for Science: Life on Ice, the museum’s annual holiday exhibit that explores the science behind the winter season. Interactive displays will educate visitors on the adaptations that allow polar bears, penguins, and other polar-dwelling animals to survive and thrive in frozen ecosystems.

The Academy is open 365 days a year! Holiday hours are 10 am – 3 pm on November 28 (Thanksgiving Day) and 11 am – 5 pm on December 25 (Christmas Day).
