Watch the silvery fish come up on the beach to spawn! Learn about the interesting mating rituals and growth of this curious fish. The Aquarium opens at 8 pm and an auditorium program begins at 9, followed by guided observation at the beach. Warm clothing and a flashlight are recommended. A grunion run is a unique experience. From March through August, the small grunion wash themselves up on the beach 3-4 nights after the new and full moon. This fish behavior is truly a long-standing southern California phenomenon.
