RTC Discovery Day
Discovery Day is a free festival of educational fun that includes marine animal touch tanks, scientific exhibits, live music, art, and more. An annual event, our Discovery Day open house offers the public a unique opportunity to spend the day behind the scenes learning about the scientific research activities that take place at the Center.
In addition to science and art-related activities for children, the festival includes exhibits and talks by RTC faculty and students that highlight the Center’s contributions to understanding and caring for the San Francisco Bay environment and beyond. See the Discovery Day Event Schedule.
