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.
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 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 us 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.
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.
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.
Program admission is $7 for adults and $1 children/seniors/students with I.D.
Recommended to pre-purchase your tickets ahead to guarantee admission. CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE YORU TICKET https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=E9935&id=20 (make sure to choose Fri Apr 7)
