With the holiday season coming up, this week is full of opportunities to support local crafters and pick up gifts for everyone on your list — and check out adorable, adoptable animals as you hit the shops. And if you're craving a bit of seasonal snow, you can check out a multi-sensory show about the Alaskan wilderness.

Here's where to go in SF for some pre-Thanksgiving fun this weekend.

The Arctic Refuge Experience

The Wilderness Society’s immersive 4D "Arctic Refuge Experience" spares no expense to make you feel like you're really on a journey into the Alaskan wilderness. With video, programmable wind, custom scents, tactile sensations, 40 controllable lights, and 16 channels of sound, you'll get to experience the beauty of the region firsthand — and learn how oil and gas drilling are destroying the opportunity for future generations to enjoy it.

When: Thursday, November 21, 12 p.m. – Sunday, November 24, 7 p.m.

Where: Capitol Art, 3073 17th St.

Price: $10

When: Windows open Friday, November 22, 5 p.m., and continue through Jan. 1 (except for Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day).
