Explore, have fun, and get hands-on with marine science education! Engage with our aquarium Interpreters on the floor to learn about the animals in our Hall of Fishes, Gray Whales migrating off our coast, Specimens in our Oddities collections, and, some of the tiniest but very important organisms in the ocean, known as plankton. Each day will present different ocean-themed activities for the week. These activities are included with the price of admission.
