SF Bay Exploration

At Marine Science Institute

Redwood City

Wear shoes that can get wet and muddy
The video microscope reveals a wild microscopic world
Kids under 5 need adult supervision at all times

Climb aboard a 90-foot research vessel and do real marine science on the bay. You'll trawl for fish, scoop up bottom-dwelling invertebrates, and peer at plankton through a video microscope. It's hands-on, muddy, and genuinely thrilling for curious minds of all ages.
