Led by educators from Birch Aquarium, this exclusive walking tour offers a window into the work of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography — a global leader in ocean and climate science.

As the sun sinks into the Pacific, you’ll explore marine life up close — from plankton and squid to sharks — while learning how scientists monitor ocean ecosystems in real time. The tour also highlights the Scripps CO₂ Program and its cutting-edge climate research.

A unique opportunity to take in coastal beauty alongside cutting-edge science.
