However you celebrate the holidays, a visit to the Academy should be at the top of your list. Science-lovers of all ages will revel in a festive array of winter-themed activities, can’t-miss events, jolly live shows, falling snow—and, of course, nearly 40,000 animals eager to offer you their season’s greetings. Guests like you are a gift to us, and we look forward to making merry with you soon!

‘Tis the Season for Science will be open daily from November 18, 2022, through January 8, 2023—including Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day! Please check our Hours & Admission page for our complete holiday schedule.
