Near Edwards St, this marine lab has a self-guided tour that leads to a touch tank, several aquariums (look for the red octopus) and an enormous whale jaw. You can join a naturalist on tide-pooling expeditions (per person $3, minimum $20). Guided tours are by appointment; make reservations two weeks ahead.
