Aquarium of the Pacific

Our marine mammal relatives who live in the ocean are the focus of this family program.

Come to the Aquarium to introduce your preschool student to marine life. Another in our series of mommy, me and fish classes, the Saturday Family Fun program is created for four- to six-year-olds with an adult. Join us for the entire series of 4 classes!

These classes are designed for you and your child to interact together in a fun and dynamic learning environment. We therefore strongly encourage you to leave children not in this age group at home. These classes do not offer snacks. Admission is included.
