River Bugs Are Cool

Learn how bugs can unlock secrets about the San Diego River’s health! Work with scientists to collect a sample and examine real living aquatic bugs, play games, and take home an activity book. Supplies will be provided, but please wear clothes that can get a little dirty. The activity takes about one hour, and we will have three rotations (all with the same activities). Rotations begin on the hour at 10:00, 11:00 and noon.
