New at Birch Aquarium: Outdoor Adventure Bundles

THE EPIC OCEAN: Breaking out words like "vast" and "massive" and "epic" and "super-ginormous" feel, well, not quite ginormous enough. No matter how much of the Pacific you cover on a boat trip or how much your read about in a thrilling book, there will be more, lots more, to cover. We're not throwing cold, or, er, salty water here, for the good news is an ocean aficionado always wants to know more about the secrets of the deep. Birch Aquarium at Scripps understands are seemingly infinite ocean-based curiosity and to help us know more? There's a new deal ahead this fall: Outdoor Adventure Bundles, which are all about giving people visiting the amazing aquarium the opportunity to go tidepooling or take an informative pier walk at a discounted price.

NATURALISTS AT THE LEAD: Pros in the know will lead both the Tidepooling Adventures at False Point, which is one of the available experiences, and the 90-minute Sunset Scripps Pier Walks, which go in-depth into what Scripps researchers are working on (so very cool). "Exploring the outdoors can feel daunting sometimes, but our Outdoor Adventures can be a great way to get your feet wet — both literally and figuratively!" said Matthew Arrollado, Public Programs Coordinator. "Our naturalist-led Sunset Scripps Pier Walks and Tidepooling Adventures offer insight into the local ecosystems, insider information about how research is done, and tips and tricks to exploring even more habitats!"
