What do ridgeway rails, garter snakes, and salt marsh bird’s beak have in common? You might see one or more of these things during a Shellmaker Discovery Tour! Join one of our trained Naturalists for a nice stroll around the new Back Bay Science Center located on Shellmaker Island in Newport Beach. Learn about the flora and fauna that live in and around the bay.
Also, come learn about the variety of educational programs the Science Center offers and how the facility is geared to educate 7th-12th grades students about local water quality issues and the importance of the Upper Newport Bay estuary.
The tours start promptly at 9am and typically last 1 to 2 hours. Reservations Required; space is limited.
