irch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego is holding its annual Sunset Pier Walks, giving guests the opportunity to experience breathtaking sunsets while taking a stroll on the iconic Ellen Browning Scripps Memorial Pier. During Sunset Pier Walks, guests will join Birch Aquarium naturalists on an exclusive walking tour of the Scripps Pier – which is normally closed to the public – and learn about fieldwork being conducted by Scripps Oceanography researchers. The 90-minute tour features hands-on science stations where guests can scoop up plankton, examine samples under the microscope, dissect a squid and learn about local shark research. Sunset Pier Walks run on select Saturdays and Sundays through Dec. 10. Advanced registration is required.
