We took the motorcycle down to Santa Ana to the Goldwing whispers at JBJ Cycle. I planed it on the first weekend of the month so while they were working on the bike we drove down to the aquarium. It was a Bank of America free day. I am also glad it was a free day because admission is like $17 and had I paid that much I would have been very disappointed. The place is not very big.

It is on the campus of the University of California San Diego and what beautiful views from the aquarium. It is a nice place for kids and they have a number of hands on displays for kids.

They had a feeding at the shark tank but the area was soo small we decided to leave it for all the kids to enjoy. Their web site says "Birch Aquarium provides ocean science education through creative exhibits, programs, and activities designed to help visitors use critical thinking, and to make science relevant to their daily lives"
