Explore Where the Sea Meets the Land
Visit a local tide pool to learn how these amazing habitats and their inhabitants truly survive between a rock and a hard place.
The optimal season for tidepooling is December - March when minus tides reveal wider beaches and tide pools teeming with life. During those months, you can sign up for a Tidepooling Adventure where our trained naturalists will show you how to tread lightly during your visit and help you discover the wonderful world of tide pools. For ages 2+ (tickets required). Under 15 must be accompanied by a paid adult.
Tidepooling Adventures do not meet at Birch Aquarium.
