Visitors can explore the "blue planet" from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of outer space at this new interpretive center for Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Situated on a spectacular site overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this new facility presents undersea creatures in realistic habitats, and allows visitors to experience the frontiers of marine science through interactive exhibits and participation in exciting educational activities.

From its very inception in 1903, Scripps Institution of Oceanography has maintained an aquarium and museum as a commitment to quality public science education. We invite you to join us in this stimulating new endevor dedicated to increasing understanding of our oceans and planet, and to promoting wise use of Earth's resources.
