Natural history museum, research institute, aquarium, planetarium, rainforest, & so much more — all under one living roof.
REMINDERS: Always bring a friend (it’s safer & more fun), download the iNaturalist app (helps you ID neat creatures), and remember your tide pool etiquette (NO touching or taking animals). More tide pooling info at bit.ly/tidepool101 & low tide charts at bit.ly/tide-finder.

November through December is your best shot at seeing unique intertidal creatures along the California Coast—like colorful nudibranchs, sea stars, kelp forests, and more.
