Join us for our Sanctuary Visitor Center Open House Celebration on Saturday, March 22nd from 1 pm – 4 pm.  Short of a three hour boat trip, this is as up close and personal as you may get to the marine life of the Farallones.

Discover why the sanctuary is famous for the "Big Three" (1) giant blue whales (2) white sharks and (3) the largest seabird rookery in the contiguous United States. Enjoy the Habitat Room featuring living marine life including sand crabs, monkeyface eels and more!

As a rare bonus, the historic Tide Station will be open for you to participate in a special lab featuring marine life eggs. Celebrate with the designers, educators, sanctuary staff and volunteers who have helped make the Sanctuary Visitor Center renovation a success.
