A Place to Check Out: Cabrillo Marine Aquarium

Here's another fun free family activity that I'm adding to my to do list: visit the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium. It's located just steps from the ocean on Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro.

From their ad:
Cabrillo Marine Aquarium is a non-profit public aquarium that promotes knowledge, appreciation, and conservation of the marine life of Southern California. There are numerous exhibits that simulate Southern California's rocky shores, tidepools, kelp forests, sandy beaches and mudflats, open ocean and the nearby Channel Islands.

Discover the knowledge and observations of Sea Ragers at the Cabrillo Beach Coastal Park each Saturday and Sunday as they answer questions and share their personal insights at the tidepools, salt marsh, and the Cabrillo fishing pier.

For more info, visit www.cabrilloaq.org. Admission is free. Hours are Tuesdays-Friday 12noon-5P, Saturday & Sunday 10A-5P.
