Explore the wonders of the ocean at Birch Aquarium at Scripps, the public outreach center for world-renowned Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Experience dazzling coral reefs, thrilling sharks, amazing seahorses, undulating jellyfish and three outdoor, living tide pools. Watch a diver feed the sharks in the aquarium’s two-story kelp forest tank, which showcases the beauty of the ocean just off La Jolla’s coast. Perched on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the aquarium features more than 60 habitats of fishes and invertebrates from the cold waters of the Pacific Northwest to the tropical waters of Mexico and beyond. An interactive museum showcases research discoveries by Scripps scientists on climate, earth and ocean science.
