This year’s Blue Whale Gala will be a celebration of the Aquarium of the Pacific’s 25th Anniversary. Participants can enjoy cocktails and conversations at the cocktail reception in Shark Lagoon, explore the re-imagined Southern California Gallery highlighting local animals and marine habitats, bid on an array of auction items, dine under the blue whale with a gourmet dinner, and visit with some animals while exploring the Aquarium with after-dinner drinks and dessert.

The First Wednesdays summer series is geared to connecting to nature. Topics are white sharks, elephant seals, sea turtles, and dolphins. These are talks with leading experts in our state-of-the-art Honda Pacific Visions Theater. Each presentation is followed by a cocktail/social hour with music. Guests can mix and mingle and participate in crafts, our digital Paint-a-fish activity, book signings, and more. The program is recommended for high school and college students and adults of all ages. Check the First Wednesdays page for more information.
