Birch Aquarium at Scripps brings to life the exciting discoveries of world-renowned Scripps Institution of Oceanography. For more than a century, the aquarium has inspired visitors with the wonders of the ocean.

Enter the world of sharks, seahorses, living coral reefs and more, and discover a stunning variety of Pacific marine life in more than 60 habitats. Interact with exhibits that showcase the cutting-edge discoveries of Scripps Oceanography explorers through hands-on displays and multimedia.

Birch Aquarium at Scripps is located on a coastal bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Scripps Campus in La Jolla, an area famed for its beaches, dining, and culture. By car, the aquarium is minutes from downtown La Jolla and La Jolla Shores.


Heres what the Birch Aquarium has to say about the OceanREEF system:

"Ocean Reef’s full-face masks and underwater communication systems are a key part of our four-times-weekly Kelptank Dive Shows here at the Birch Aquarium. They allow excellent communication between our divers and the viewing public.

With the Neptune masks and AlphaPro sound system, our divers have their hands free to feed the sharks, groupers and giant seabass, all while carrying on a lively dialogue with our visitors.

All of our divegear suffers some abuse from interactions with the larger fish while we’re feeding them, and Ocean Reef has been outstanding when it comes to servicing their equipment, even soliciting our advice for improving their products.

Our live feeding shows are among the most popular attractions here at the Birch Aquarium, and Ocean Reef has been a major factor in helping us maintain that level of commitment to educating AND entertaining our visitors.

We couldn’t do it without them!"
