Ocean Institute

We Joined the Ocean Institute in Dana Point. As Grandparents you can take all your grandchildren unlimited times. They are the perfect age to start enjoying this great learning opportunity.

Out in the rocks, searching for sea urchins, crabs and all the other creatures that live at the shoreline.

Then when Siena and Tegan came for an overnighter, off to the Ocean Institute we went! Got our money's worth is just a couple of weekends. The touching tanks had Skate's, sea urchins, star fish, sea cucumber and more.

Schools of fish swimming in an impressive tank going round and around.

This day the tide was to high to be able to walk on the rocks so we sat from the steps and watched.

All the children loved this 'fish eye'. They said that from inside the bubble everyone looked really small.
