Octo Lab

  • Greater Farallones Visitor Center 991 Marine Drive San Francisco, CA, 94129 United States (map)

1 Sessions 10am & 1pm

Dive deeper into ocean science as a family at our Sanctuary Visitor Center Family Workshops. Led by our team of marine science educators, these weekend workshops are perfect for 4–10 year old budding marine biologists and their families.

Join us for Octo Lab! Participants will discover one of the ocean’s most intelligent invertebrates – the octopus! Teams will measure, weigh, study, touch, examine, and squish their way through the lab using their own defrosted octopus specimen. As the grand finale, we will create octopus stop motion videos as well as octopus prints for you to take home as keepsakes.

COST: $10 per participant (example: 1 parent + 2 children = $30)
