All events i have ever been to for VIP Nighlife have been awful. Falling down drunk people, low quality cocktails at $250!! No one at the event to ask for a refund. A waste of money - go elsewhere with more class unless your into trashy at $250, then this is for you

dmonklan

This was so cool. No Kids in sight. This even was made for adults. Drinks and Music make education that much more fun!

<p>Great night, very interesting and much better to have the VIP experience</p>

So glad we made it to this exhibit. We saved with the night life option and by using the bus service. The exhibit itself would have been worth the extra money though!!! So much to see for nature lovers. The staff was extremely helpful but the place was easy to navigate even with their really cool layout. Adults and kids alike can learn so much even if what you learn is that you don't want to be near any 6ft fish again in your life!

<p>This was a fun experience. They offered some fun presentations and great drinks at the bars. It was nice to be surrounded by fellow “adults” for more “adult” time to explore the museum. They also played fun music in the background. Buy planetarium tickets early because they sell out quickly.</p>

<p>Really fun way to get to know the place as a visitor, and blend in the local night life.<br/> Ejoyed the place the music and learned couple new things. Also great way to get the most from, San Francisco.<br/> You can experience the typical places during the daylight, and hit the CAS enjoying it with lights and drinks.</p>

<p>This was an amazing place. After hours was great. The behind the scenes tour was wonderful too!</p>

<p>The C.A.S NightLife VIP is the best way to see this Living Document of Science. Short- to no lines, free drinks and great sandwiches and a very special guided tour with fun people. You don't want to miss this Science class like you skipped in High School. BUS 37r takes you right to the entrance and there is a stop across the street to take you back. Get the City Pass.....BO</p>

<p>This was a fun evening. Spend the extra 20 for the VIP ticket. You get a one hour open bar and go the the head of the line to get into the rain forest and the planetarium and earthquake exhibit. The place was packed and avoiding the lines was worth the extra money. Hip. young crowd, DJ. live music, what's not to like? This is worth doing on the Thursday night that they offer the Night at the Museum.</p>

<p>The night visit to the California Academy of Sciences was something different from the usual visit to the museum. The crowd was obviously more interested in the drinks, but opening up the museum beyond the usual working hours meant that you get most of the day to do other interesting things in SF before going to visit this museum. The museum is huge, very different from other natural history museum. Definitely worth a visit.</p>
