THE CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES: GOLDEN GATE PARK!!!!!
it re-opens September 27, 2008 and I CAN NOT FREAKIN WAIT!!! ITS BEEN WAY TOO LONG!!!!
"Construction on the new Academy has completed several milestones since the groundbreaking ceremony in 2005. The shell of the structure is nearly complete. The plants on the living roof are now bursting with color. Even the aquarium tanks have been tested for leaks and safety.
By the end of October 2007, Webcor Builders will finish construction on the building and turn the keys over to Academy officials. In the coming year, aquarium biologists will transport and acclimate 38,000 live animals to their new homes. Artists and curators will meticulously recreate the dioramas in African Hall. Workers will plant rainforest trees inside a four-story glass dome. Work on a newly designed planetarium show, a 3-D theater, a new restaurant and retail space will be completed in the months ahead. Expect the California Academy of Sciences to reopen its doors in Golden Gate Park by Fall 2008."
And you can BET that I will be there! I know it's more than a few months away, but does anyone want to come with and make a day of it?
