Birch Aquarium at Scripps

Groundbreaking research comes to life through immersive exhibits, hands-on activities and unforgettable animal encounters, all set against sweeping views of the Pacific. Journey through Adam R. Scripps Living Seas Gallery, where the ocean’s hidden wonders are revealed — from the hidden world of a Giant Pacific Octopus to the incredible biodiversity of a coral reef. Step into Beyster Family Little Blue Penguins to meet the world’s smallest penguins, the only place on the West Coast where visitors can see them up close. Explore a dynamic museum wing where science and art intersect, showcasing the latest breakthroughs in ocean research, conservation and exploration.
