The venue is incredible - there are gorgeous ocean views a stone's throw away from the building, and there are exhibits that are open during the event. Our guests are still talking about getting to touch starfish.
About Us
The Seymour Marine Discovery Center is a community-supported marine science education center operated by the University of California, Santa Cruz. We are dedicated to educating people about the role scientific research plays in the understanding and conservation of the world’s oceans. Through our breathtaking seaside learning center, we bring the adventures and explorations of ocean science to life. In our 20,000-square-foot center, guests can touch a shark, explore the latest discoveries in ocean science, and take in the spectacular Monterey Bay, which has been called the “Serengeti of the sea” for its incredible diversity of marine life.
