The Birch Aquarium at Scripps is a public aquarium for the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California at San Diego. It sits atop a cliff overlooking La Jolla Shores. Additionally, the aquarium offers educational programs as well as over sixty exhibits and an interactive museum.
In addition to being educational, the Birch Aquarium is a fun place to take the family. Together with the interactive exhibits, the aquarium has several other kid friendly activities. Not only does it have outdoor touch pools, it also has a two story kelp forest that is quite amazing.
