Dana Point's Ocean Institute fully reopens on April 10, with two new exhibits that enable visitors to explore local marine life in a hands-on and interactive way.

The Sahm Family Foundation Marine Education Center featuring shark encounters allows visitors to learn about shark anatomy, life cycles, research, and conservation, through artifacts, interactive demonstrations, and a beautiful horn shark touch tank.

In addition, a new Marine Mammal exhibit debuts in the Chambers Gallery. The exhibit features the ecological history of whales and dolphins and their place in our modern-day environment.

Ocean Institute is open to the public on weekends and non-school days from 11am-3pm. Reservations advised.
