Fodor's Review:

Dedicated to the marine life that flourishes off the southern California coast, this Frank Gehry-designed center gives an intimate and instructive look at local sea creatures. Head to the Exploration Center and S. Mark Taper Foundation Courtyard for kid-friendly interactive exhibits and activity stations. Especially fun is the "Crawl In" aquarium, where you can be surrounded by fish without getting wet. From March through July the aquarium organizes a legendary grunion program, when you can see the small, silvery fish as they come ashore at night to spawn on the beach. After visiting the museum, you can stop for a picnic or beach stroll along Cabrillo Beach.

Cost: $5 suggested donation, parking available in adjacent lot at reduced rate of $1 for museumgoers
Open: Tues.-Fri. noon-5, weekends 10-5
