A True, Southern California Experience

Experience an exclusive rental with access to exhibits and stunning ocean views-inside and out. Your guests can watch a kelp forest sway in the currents, touch tide-pool animals, or see the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean. As a backdrop to any occasion, Birch Aquarium at Scripps provides a true, Southern California experience.
