Birch Aquarium at Scripps
This beautiful facility is operated as the interpretive arm of the world-famous Scripps Institution of Oceanography. In the Adam R. Scripps Living Seas Gallery, the aquarium affords close-up views of the vibrant ecosystems of the Pacific Ocean, from the world of a giant Pacific octopus to the amazing biodiversity of a coral reef.
The aquarium's giant kelp forest is particularly impressive; other highlights include a variety of sharks and ethereal moon jellies. Arrive early to catch the 10am penguin feeding each day.
The outdoor tide pool area not only displays marine coastal life but also offers an amazing view of Scripps Pier, La Jolla Shores Beach, the village of La Jolla, and the ocean. The facility's Blue Wave Bistro has a prime location for toasting the sunset with a beer while enjoying a quick bite.
