For the family of animal lovers: Behind-the-Scenes Tour at Birch Aquarium
La Jolla-based Birch Aquarium is a beloved San Diego attraction for all aquatic animal lovers–and imagine getting an up-close-and-personal tour to get to know these precious creatures. Gift your fave family of four or six with a behind-the-scenes octopus, penguin or seahorse tour. During the hour-long guided experience, guests get to learn all about the amazing critters from the animal care team and check out a view not normally accessible to the public. (Guests must be at least 8 years of age to participate.) Starting at $500; aquarium admission is included. For more information, visit aquarium.ucsd.edu.
