Birch Aquarium
Birch Aquarium ushers visitors into the world of the sea. Courtesy of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, there are over 60 recreated habitats and hands-on exhibits on display, all educationally focused on Pacific marine life. The Tropical Seas Gallery, Hall of Fishes, and 13,000-gallon Shark Reef are true standouts. The jaw-dropping cliff-side location over the ocean in La Jolla gives visitors a one-of-a-kind view of the water as well, so be sure to bring your camera. Open 9am-5pm daily, An easy 15 minute drive from the Old Town Inn. More information can be found at http://aquarium.ucsd.edu/
