Aquarium of the Pacific

What makes birds different from other animals?

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.

Puffins and Pals:

Preoccupied with penguins? Gaga for gulls? Come along with us as we search out birds that make their home near or even on the sea. During this 2-hour program your four- to five-year-old child will:

• Discover the unique characteristics of birds
• Create a pair of craft binoculars to make our birding tour more exciting
• Take a guided tour of Lorikeet Forest, the Shorebird exhibit, and Diving Bird habitat
• Learn the secrets of their feathers
• Play a game illustrating how birds use their different beaks to eat different foods
• Make their own Puffin Food Chain Mobile craft to take home with them.
• Touch animals in our private classroom touch pool
• Enjoy a snack of goldfish crackers and juice
