Item Description

Please note this a time and location sensitive package - It is only valid for Sunday, September 29, 2013 at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, CA.

Point Reyes National Seashore Association is thrilled to partner with the California Academy of Sciences to offer an exclusive invitation for two to attend the Steinhart Aquarium's 90th Anniversary breakfast on Sunday, September 29, 2013. This is an invitation only event, tickets cannot be purchased anywhere else!

Activities start at 9:00 am and include opportunities to meet John McCosker, Academy Chair of Aquatic Biology, and Bart Shepherd, Director of Steinhart Aquarium along with additional Academy biologists, view live animals, observe a diver exploring a two–story coral reef to learn how the Academy protects and grows corals, a viewing of The Last Reef, a breathtaking 3D journey through an iridescent underwater world, crafts and more. Guests will be seated for a hosted breakfast in the East Garden at 10 am and 11 am.

The Steinhart Aquarium is home to 38,000 live animals from around the world representing more than 900 separate species. Your package includes day admission for two so be sure to check out the 100,000-gallon Northern California Coast tank replicating the habitats of the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary just south of Point Reyes National Seashore. A walkway along the surface allows visitors to smell the seawater and witness the filling and draining of tidepools as waves spill onto a small beach. A large, L-shaped underwater window reveals the eels, anemones, sea stars, rockfish, herring, sardines, and urchins that live beneath the water's surface. Nearby tanks feature a giant sea bass and a giant Pacific octopus. There's also Discovery Tidepool where you can touch and examine a wide variety of ocean creatures. Don't miss other attractions including the Morrison Planetarium, or exhibits including the Rainforests of the World, Earthquake, Kimball Natural History Museum and Naturalist Center.

This is a special outing for two in celebration of our oceans, bid today!
