The Ocean Institute has become nationally known for its hands-on marine science, environmental education and maritime history programs. More than 110,000 K-12 students and 8,000 teachers annually participate in the Institute's 61 award-winning, immersion style programs. To learn about oceanography, science, and California history, students voyage onto the ocean, study in labs and live aboard tall ships or in the chaparral, where they can feel and taste the salty sea spray, sort through live specimens, observe migrating whales, collect scientific data and investigate the culture and world around them. On weekends, we open our doors to the public for a sneak peek into how ocean science, history, and literature are used to inspire life-long learners! We welcome you to come explore our world and plan your next visit to the Institute.

School Field Trips
Field trips at the Ocean Institute provide students with unique experiences that cannot be replicated in the traditional classroom. Whether students are conducting fish dissections or spending the night aboard a tallship, they all are inspired to learn more about the ocean environment.
We offer a wide variety of educational programs for school groups, homeschools, and scout troops. Programs range from one hour to several days and focus on marine science, maritime history, and outdoor education.
