There is always something fun to do at the Pier- from playing games, riding the coaster to taking in the breathtaking views of the Southern California beach line. We also have some fun activities great for the whole family. Take a look below and see what exciting things we have going on.
Whale of a Weekend on February 13-14, 2010
Valentine's Day is coming up next month, and Heal the Bay's Santa Monica Pier Aquarium
will express its love of the Pacific gray whale by celebrating Whale of a Weekend, February 13th and 14th.
Whale-related activities will be ongoing both days from 12:30 to 5:00 p.m. at the marine science center,
1600 Ocean Front Walk, beach level here at the Pier.
Whale of a Weekend highlights the annual migration of the Pacific gray whale,
which completes one of the longest migrations of any species,
traveling 10,000 to 14,000 miles round trip between the arctic seas and
the warm lagoons of Baja California, Mexico.
This migration takes the whales past the Pier, sometimes within viewing distance from the west end observation deck.
The Aquarium will provide a wildlife observation station at the west end of the Pier,
stocked with binoculars and field guides, giving visitors the opportunity to search for whales and other local wildlife.
American Cetacean Society/Whale Watch representatives staffing the observation station can address questions about these gentle giants.
Inside the Aquarium, guests can make a variety of whale related arts and
crafts - some with a Valentine's Day theme - as well as whale visors and cardboard binoculars.
Story time, face painting, film screenings and a 2:30 p.m. staff presentation (both days) on whales,
along with discussions of the problem of marine debris will round out the two-day celebration.
Be sure to stop by to show your love for this magnificent migratory marine mammal.
Despite the emphasis on whales, the ever-popular weekly presentation and feeding
at the shark tank will occur at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 14, as usual.
Admission is free for children 12 and under; for all others, admission is $2, with a suggested donation of $5.
