You people love you some penguins. And the California Academy of Sciences knows that, so what better way to guide you to this fabulous new mega museum than to put down footprints from the Richmond and Sunset districts.
“If you’re arriving by public transit, follow the webbed footprints of the Penguin Path from 9th and Irving, or 8th and Fulton, right to the front of the Academy. It’s only a ten minute walk.”
Ay! Trayectoria del Pingüino! (or sendero pingüino? No se.) Once you see this, you’ll soon see all the footprints on the sidewalks leading to where you want to go.
Most people will probably arrive from the 5 Fulton or the N Judah. If you can see the tower of the de Young Museum, you can also use that as a guide to get to the general area.
Conveniently, the CAS also has instructions for those arriving by bike, car, tour buses and, of course, spacecraft:
“The Academy is located on planet Earth, approximately 93.1 million miles (or one Astronomical Unit) from the G2 star known as the Sun…”
Once you arrive you can meet the penguins:
These little critters should be a major draw for the CAS.
See you there on Opening Day, September 27th, 2008.
