San Diego Water Parks

San Diego is a water-loving town and in addition to 70 miles of beautiful coastline, the destination has built a handful of awesome water parks, providing fun alternatives to a beach day.

Breaking waves and swirling water take on new meaning when viewed through the lens of an oceanographer. At this month’s Perspectives Lecture, The Lion and the Mouse: How the Motions in the Ocean Impact our Planet, join Jennifer MacKinnon as she illuminates how these dynamic small-scale phenomena hold the key to understanding global processes.

Doors open at 6:30; lecture from 7-8 p.m. Tickets are $8 for Public Admission, $5 for Students and Educators, and free for Birch Aquarium Members. RSVP is recommended for this popular event.

Annual Memberships are also available. For more information or to RSVP, visit aquarium.ucsd.edu or call 858-534-5771. Proceeds support exhibits and educational programming at Birch Aquarium at Scripps.

Throughout October, kids receive free admission to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park! Join us, and let your wild ones meet ours.
