Included with museum admission.
All Ages
Make your own origami microscope from a Foldscope kit. Explore plankton and other ocean organisms, make some cool drawings from your observations, and take it with you to continue exploring at home.
Run by a dedicated team of volunteers, Explorables drop-in workshops mix hands-on activities with open-ended investigations, encouraging participants to follow their hunches to aha! moments of scientific insight.
From plankton to whales, buoys to research vessels, films to activities—explore the ocean from the Bay.
