Do you know a budding marine biologist? The Junior Biologist series of programs at the Aquarium will encourage a love of science in your seven- to twelve-year-old child.
Each 2-hour class includes theme related activities, guided gallery tour, interaction with our animal care staff behind-the-scenes, and a keepsake journal.

Sink into the watery world of fish with us as we survey the many amazing adaptations these scaly friends have. During this 2- hour program your seven- to twelve-year-old child will:
- Touch animals in our private classroom touch pools
- Learn the key characteristics that make a fish a fish
- Discover the function of fish shape and fins while assembling a two dimensional fish model
- Observe fish using their fins in different ways on a scavenger hunt tour
- Practice eating like a shark, ray, sea horse, and whale shark
- Look for camouflaged fish on a guided tour of our Southern California gallery
- Feed fish behind-the-scenes with our animal care staff*
- Record observations in a keepsake journal
