Aquarium of the Pacific

The incredible invertebrate octopus.

Foster a love for the ocean in your four- to five-year-old child in our series of preschool programs designed to keep even the wiggliest child engaged and entertained.

Each 2-hour class allows children to explore and learn about marine life independently from their parent through games, crafts, tours, snack, animal touch time, and more.

Please note that this is a child only program. If you are interested in joining your preschool child in a class, please see our Saturday Family Fun programs.
