Anyone yearning to geek out inside a multimillion-dollar science museum with the added bonus of booze should head to Golden Gate Park on Thursdays for Nightlife at the California Academy of Sciences. Since 2009, the Academy has stayed open late once a week to give the 21+ crowd full run of the place, with an ever-changing series of themed events and several temporary bars spread throughout the gigantic building. Entertainment / Music Multiple DJs and/or live bands performing in a variety of styles tied to the night’s theme, from house to swing to everything else under the sun. One hundred thousand square-foot museum packed with incredible exhibits, aquariums, a replica of a rain forest, and the largest all-digital projection screen on the planet in the planetarium. Food / Miscellaneous Food stands offer a handful of snacks and entrées that can change weekly but usually include items like pork buns, chicken with fries, and vegetarian dishes. Private lounge available for rental. What to Wear / Dress Code Casual to trendy: everything from white t-shirts and jeans to dolled up duds. Hot Nights / When to Go Only open on Thursdays, but patrons should arrive early to avoid the lines and to check out the rainforest, which closes at 20:00.

Wonderworks features over 100 interactive exhibits for visitors of all ages to experience. Some of the exhibits include the death defying bed-of-nails, wonder coasters, a bubble lab, and indoor glow-in-the-dark ropes course, astronaut training gyros and more! WonderWorks Orlando began as a Top Secret research laboratory on a remote island in the Bermuda Triangle. As legend has it, the world’s greatest scientists – led by Professor Wonder – were given the task of creating a man-made tornado and harnessing the POWER of it. During this experiment, something went awry and the power of the tornado was unleashed throughout the laboratory. This created a swirling vortex that was strong enough to rip the laboratory from its foundation. It was carried thousands of miles away and landed upside-down on the top of a brick warehouse in Orlando, Florida. Remarkably, all of the experiments remained intact and functional. When you enter the building, everything will be upside-down, so in order to participate in the fun, you must be inverted. Step inside the inversion tunnel and be turned right side up to begin your journey. Once you are properly aligned for your adventure, family fun awaits with more than 100 hands on exhibits.

Royal Delfin La excursión de 2 horas es una buena manera de disfrutar del mar. Cuando las ballenas y delfines se encuentran cerca de la embarcación, se tienen vistas excelentes a través de las ventanas acristaladas, pero si se encuentran lejos, se pueden ver igualmente desde la cubierta. La observación de estos animales es parecida a la pesca y no siempre se puede asegurar que se pueden ver, pero definitivamente tiene más posibilidades de verlas en estas aguas que en cualquier otro lugar de Europa. A través del cristal podrá ver una gran variedad de peces, y si las ballenas nadan por debajo del barco las podrá observar desde muy cerca. A medida que se adentran en el mar, tendrá unas espectaculares vistas de la costa y de la isla. Una manera perfecta de disfrutar un día en familia bajo el sol y la brisa de mar. Servicios incluidos a bordo: Guías especializados a bordo. Ventanas panorámicas con visión submarina. Televisión submarina en directo. ¡No olvide traer gorra, protector solar y calzado adecuado!
