It’s O-Fish-Al: Birch Aquarium Is Now Open Indoors And Out!

As of this week, Birch Aquarium is open indoors and out! San Diego move to the Red Tier enabled the aquarium to welcome guests back into the Hall of Fishes, as well as the museum side of the aquarium.

Birch Aquarium To Reopen September 15

Outdoor experiences will stay

Several of the experiences that were added to the aquarium when they were operating outdoors-only will remain to encourage social distancing and give guests more to explore. These include the new tropical touch experience, the Growing Up Seahorse activity, and the small animal nursery, all on Smargon Court near Shark Shores.
