After almost three months of closure, Birch Aquarium at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla announced it will open to the public outdoors-only beginning Saturday, Feb. 27. A members-only day is scheduled for Feb. 26.
The aquarium’s outdoor spaces have been enhanced with new animals and activities and will be open to guests with discounted ticket prices. Birch has been closed since early December because of COVID-19 restrictions.
Activities include Preuss Tide Pool Plaza experiences, Kelp Cam viewing on a big screen, an outdoor version of the Oddities exhibit, touch tidepools, shark teeth and specimens and nurseries for baby animals found in local waters.
