Skip the Line: California Academy of Sciences Behind the Scenes Platinum Tour

Skip the line as you visit the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco - the only place on the planet with an aquarium, a planetarium, a natural history museum and a four-story rainforest all under one roof! Experience an intimate and special encounter at the Academy. As this is your pre-paid ticket, you will skip all the massive ticket buying lines.

The Platinum Tour is the ultimate behind-the-scenes experience at the Academy. Get an exclusive, up close and personal look at the world's Greenest Museum. Tour highlights include special access to staff-only areas, interaction with Academy researchers and a private viewing of some of the Academy's secured collections.

Go deep behind the scenes in the Aquarium and learn how water is piped from Ocean Beach, step onto a private viewing deck beyond the living roof terrace and gain VIP access to the Rainforest dome at the end of the tour. Explore the Academy's collection of rare gems and take in breathtaking views of the building from staff-only areas.

With your Platinum pass, you can visit all exhibits as many times as you like, skipping the lines every time! The Platinum Tour also includes a commemorative Academy gift and the confirmed option to attend a Planetarium show.
