The best of the Academy, now streaming. Watch our graceful stingrays, colorful coral reef, and African penguin colony in vivid HD, or set your sights on the Pacific from our Farallon Islands webcam.
Watch our African penguins swim, flirt, and nest on three live webcams. Fact-filled feeding demonstrations at 10:30 am and 3 pm daily. Keep an eye out for new chick Stanlee!
Be mesmerized by a variety of graceful ray species and shimmering schools of tropical fish swimming across your screen.
This webcam is currently displaying a pre-recorded 10-minute program while the Reef Lagoon habitat gets an upgrade. The live cam will return later this year.
Our Philippine Coral Reef exhibit is the world's deepest living indoor coral reef. Get front row seats to a live dive show at 11:30 am and 2:30 pm daily.
30 miles off the coast of San Francisco, the rugged Farallon Islands are almost impossible to access. Our newly-restored webcam puts them right in your sights.
The countdown begins! We've set up a live webcam in our Coral Spawning Lab to capture the annual spawning of Acropora hyacinthus corals—a beautiful and rarely seen event.
