Daily Interpretive Programs

Offered at 2:30 pm each day that the exhibits are open (see Hours). These lively programs are guaranteed to inform, educate and entertain you with the wonders of the marine world - in particular the wide variety of local marine species found in our touch pools and tanks, some rarely seen by the casual observer. During summer, Monday, Thursday and Saturday programs are held in the Marine Exhibit (ME) on the pier and Wednesday and Sunday programs are in the Natural History Exhibit (NHE) on shore.  On Friday, guided beach walks are offered starting from the portico of the NHE. (Beach walk times can vary. Check the monthly schecule for the correct time.) (Photo credit by Hilda Anderson)
