Sunken City is an area of a former 1929 housing development that had a slow moving landslide towards the water. Streets, driveways, foundations, street trees . . . all slowly migrating.

We will go visit.

THEN . . .

Grunion 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 it does not matter

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.

Cabrillo Program admission is $7 for adults and $1 children/seniors/students with I.D.
They do ALWAYS sell out. GET YOURS EARLY https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E9935&id=25
