Birds of a Feather NightLife

Every Thursday night, music, creatures and cocktails come together for NightLife at the California Academy of Sciences. Explore exhibits and aquarium displays while sipping creative cocktails, and let exotic animals from around the world transport you to the tropics, Tibet, and dozens of other remote destinations. Special planetarium shows will take you even farther afield. Each week features a live band or DJ, and a unique theme – from salsa dancing to sustainable seafood and beyond. 21+

This Thursday, enjoy live music by Birds & Batteries, a bird sketching workshop led by renowned illustrator and wildlife biologist John Muir Laws, and get sketched as a bird by Artist and comedian Michael Capozzola and his cartoonist companions, all in honor of International Migratory Bird Week. Additional music by DJ Omar.
