Make the Aquarium your winter escape with visits that are fun for everyone. See animals like penguins, jellies, and the axolotls who are settling into their new home in the Southern California Gallery.
Celebrate one of our local communities at a cultural festival with live music, dance, demonstrations, and more. Save the date for African American Festival on February 21-22 and Noche de Estrellas on March 6!
You may also enjoy events like Autism Families Night on March 8, Scout Day on April 12, and Earth Day Teen Climate Fest on April 26.
If you’re looking for something free and fun, make your reservation for an upcoming Shark Lagoon Twilight Tuesdays where you can touch the sharks and rays.
Of course, new animals and experiences are being added all the time. Follow the Aquarium on social media to make sure you get updates.
