Animals on the Bay Day

Enjoy a full day of wildlife, nature and family fun at Animals on the Bay Day at the Living Coast Discovery Center on Saturday, Sept. 19, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is just $5 per person and includes access to all exhibits, presentations and event activities.

Get up close with the Living Coast’s animal ambassadors and enjoy special eagle, shark and ray, sea turtle and urban wildlife presentations, plus arts and crafts, exploration stations and guided nature walks on the San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge. More than a dozen environmental and community organizations will also offer interactive activities focused on science, wildlife and conservation.

All educational presentations will be offered in English, Spanish and American Sign Language (ASL). Families can also pick up a free nature journal and earn an exclusive Animals on the Bay Day 2026 sticker by completing activities throughout the day, while supplies last.

Food and drinks will be available for purchase from local vendors, or guests may bring a picnic lunch.

Tickets: Advance purchase is strongly recommended. Timed tickets provide a designated entry window, but there is no time limit on your stay once admitted. Standby tickets may be available at check-in based on availability.
