We have been members of the Long Beach Aquarium Of The Pacific for several year and absolutely love it. The hands-on exhibits are definitely favorites, as is the splash pad on a hot day. One of the last activities we did before lockdown was to experience the aquarium during the member’s “late night” family and get a fresh perspective on some of our favorite creatures.
Monday, June 8 is World Ocean Day and the Aquarium of the Pacific invites the public to join in with special online programming. Take a virtual journey under the waves and meet some animals as you find out what you can do to help the world ocean, which covers 70 percent of Earth’s surface and remains almost entirely unexplored.
The Aquarium will host online festivities all day to mark World Ocean Day, a global day ofocean celebration and collaboration for a better future. You can tune into the Aquarium’s Facebook for World Ocean Day Live for streaming sessions to get a peek at Aquarium life behind the scenes. The Aquarium’s Online Academy will feature special classes for students in Pre-K to eighth grade in celebration of World Ocean Day. The classes will include ocean art and behind the scenes bonus features, streamed live from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the Aquarium’s YouTube channel and available on demand after on the Aquarium’s website.
