Birch Aquarium’s luminous 21+ evening event series is expanding to its new outdoor patio space for the summer, the space announced on Thursday.
Boasting stunning coastal views of the Pacific Ocean and a terrain that includes lawn games, the newly opened Blue Beach patio will also host the aquarium’s Oceans at Night experience. Held on a monthly basis, the adult-only Oceans at Night “celebrates the wonders and mysteries of the ocean after dark, featuring interactive experiences that highlight ocean phenomena that occur at night including biofluorescence and bioacoustics,” the aquarium said in a statement.
The Scene
A glow lounge, live music and life-sized lawn games all make for the unique experience at the events. With the added space of the Blue Beach patio, attendants will get more space to enjoy the experience beginning in July.
