Details

Have you ever even heard of a Grunion? The are unique to SoCal

They are a small ocean going fish that spawn by running on the shore for what amounts to a giant fish orgy. And for this event we go and watch. I am not sure which element is more disturbing the that sentence. Whichever one is does not matter, . . . as the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium celebrates it all.

From March through July, Cabrillo Marine Aquarium presents special evening programs to introduce you to the unique and elusive grunion. On this eve, the Aquarium opens at 8 p.m. Guests must arrive before 9pm to participate in the full program in the auditorium, followed by a guided observation. Dress warmly and bring a flashlight to spot grunion at the beach. Program admission is $5 for adults and $1 children/seniors/students with I.D.

CLICK HERE TO BUY YOUR TICKET IN ADVANCE
Buy tickets at the door or pre-purchase your tickets ahead to guarantee admission. Processing fees apply. Tix are $57 such a deal for such fishy fun.

Come in style to the Grunion Fish-tival! Wear a grunion-themed aluminum hat to greet the grunion and shield yourself from the cosmic rays of the moon. The best grunion-themed foil hats will win a prize!

Hatch grunion eggs, participate in grunion arts and crafts, watch a classic grunion video, interact with grunion researchers, touch live tidepool animals and see the many fish and other live animals in the Aquarium.

Don't miss your chance to test your GQ (Grunion Quotient), or guess what's in the Mystery Box! After participating in fun grunion activities, everyone will head to the beach to observe these enchanting fish. Warm clothing is recommended.
