Happy Presidents Day and Valentine's Day weekend! See Penguin Valentines at Cal Academy, where felt hearts line the nests of the resident African Penguins in a pair-bonding annual tradition. Chinatown is hosting its most popular event of the year: the Chinese Lunar New Year Parade and Festival celebrates the Year of the Snake. Great Scott! Families can go where you don't need roads to the Orpheum Theater for the opening weekend of Back to the Future: The Musical.
