Educators equip young marine biologists with identification guides to discover sea anemones, hermit crabs, colorful nudibranchs, and purple urchins in their natural rocky habitats. Afterward, head inside Frank Gehry's designed aquarium building to touch live bat rays and swell sharks in the touch tanks. The indoor aquarium is stroller-friendly; tidepool walks require closed-toe, non-slip footwear. Restrooms with baby-changing tables are available in the courtyard. ## Similar picks coming up in Los Angeles - [Sensory Friendly Morning at Discovery Cube Los Angeles](https://grassyknees.com/los-angeles/activities/sensory-friendly-morning-at-discovery-cube-los-angeles--listing-2100f39457d53a65300c3801) — Sun, Nov 15 (+1 more date) · 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM · Discovery Cube Los Angeles, Sylmar · Paid · sensory-friendly · checked Oct 30.
