California Academy of Sciences (living roof and rainforest dome)

The California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park reopened in a rebuilt facility in 2008 that includes a planted living roof, a four-story rainforest dome, and the Steinhart Aquarium. Images of the living roof terraces, the aquarium’s coral displays, and the rainforest atrium are frequently photographed and widely shared on social media and in travel coverage. The museum is a major science and natural-history institution that regularly appears in viral educational and tourism posts.
