The Holidays Are Here At Birch Aquarium at Scripps!
December 20, 2022
The holidays are just around the corner and there is no shortage of fun to celebrate the magic of the SEAson at the aquarium! Here are some tips to get your holiday spirit on.
Walking in a Winter Waddleland
Start a new tradition with loved ones by visiting our penguins this holiday season. Birch Aquarium is the only aquarium on the West Coast where you can see Little Blue Penguins up close. Just like San Diegans, Little Blues enjoy mild winters and sunny skies.
Snap a Holiday Photo with our Popular Shark Head
Our iconic 8-foot-tall shark head is back! Stop by Shark Shores, enjoy panoramic ocean views and snap a selfie inside this giant shark head. It’s the perfect spot for families to take fun holiday photos while learning about these important creatures.
