Birthday Party Programs

Our Aquarium educators come to your home or party venue to share animals such as sharks, sea stars, anemones, and other California marine inhabitants with you and your guests.

About a dozen children form a line outside the Aquarium on Wheels box truck while an educator welcomes them in from the top of the stairs.
