Awesome place to stop after a day on the beach ! Love interacting with all the amazing marine creatures from the Santa Monica Bay !

being able to touch starfish & sea cucumbers was a lot of fun! limited space but great array of animals & you can't beat $5.

Jeffrey Glueck

Small scale and kind of amateur, but check out the sea horses and the eels and the touch pools . Crayon tables for art projects a nice touch
