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.
Buy tickets at the door or pre-purchase your tickets ahead to guarantee admission. Processing fees apply. Tix are $1 to $5 such a deal for such fishy fun.
