SAN FRANCISCO (March 5, 2010) – San Francisco residents will again have two opportunities to visit the California Academy of Sciences free of charge during 2010. Over the past eleven years, thousands of San Francisco residents have visited the Academy during Neighborhood Free Days each year. Each neighborhood, defined by zip codes, will have opportunities to visit the Academy for free over a three-day weekend (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday) in the spring, and again in the fall. The first series of weekends runs from April 23-June 13, 2010, and the second from September 10-November 7, 2010.
Each visiting adult must show a valid photo ID with proof of residency. The following items or combinations are acceptable: A driver’s license or state ID card; Photo ID plus postmarked envelope, postcard, or magazine label with name and date; Photo ID plus utility bill (gas/electric/cable), bank statement, or letter from a government agency with name and home address (not a P.O. Box). Only residents from the zip codes invited on the designated dates will be admitted free of charge.
Information about Neighborhood Free Days is available at www.calacademy.org and at (415) 379-8000.
