Discover the underwater world of Southern California...any day but Monday.

I've got it!  A great place for you to head to today...it's not only fun but educational too- here's the bonus...it will only set you back a few (think $10 or less) bucks and will give your whole family a memorable experience. 

Cabrillo Marine Aquarium engages all visitors in education, recreation and research to promote knowledge, appreciation and conservation of the marine life of Southern California

 With its spectacular natural setting adjacent to Cabrillo Beach Coastal Park and the Port of Los Angeles, Cabrillo Marine Aquarium is uniquely suited to its leadership role in marine science education, aquaculture research and community recreation.  The historic Frank Gehry-designed aquarium displays the largest collection of Southern California marine life in the world. 

The Cabrillo Aquarium is a smaller aquarium that is feet away from the ocean. The Susan Lawrencz Miller Exhibit hall is home to three major environments- rocky shores, beaches, mudflats, and open ocean. Your kiddos will be able to learn about the different marine life that lives in each habitat and more. The aquarium is also home to an aquatic nursery which is a BIG hit. The aquarium has an exploration center. The kids will love the ecological play area. There they are able to dress up as different sea life and also able to put on a sea life puppet show. There is also the crawl in aquarium. You can crawl into a real life aquarium and be surrounded by different ocean life and never get wet. It's the perfect photo opportunity. There is also a naturalist corner where you can study the different organisms through a microscope. You'll have a fantastic time learning about the wonderful sea life found in Southern California waters. 

The best part...you can have a wonderful time for FREE.  Admission to the aquarium is FREE but donations are suggested. The suggested donation is $5 for adults and $1 for children or seniors. Parking is a $1 an hour - make sure to take cash/quarters with you. 

The Cabrillo Aquarium is open: Tue- Sun. The hours of operation are 12am-5pm Tue- Fri and 10am to 5pm on the weekends.
