Aug 20, 2024 FUN PLACE ! On Tuesday my wife and I had one of our regular dates with our 2 young grand daughters. That meant driving from Irvine to Oceanside to pick them up at 11am. My wife had picked out this discovery center in Carlsbad...the girls had been here before with their Mom. We took a home prepared cut lunch and other goodies for us all....no food available here just drinks and ice creams. We pulled into their parking lot around midday on another quite hot day. FIRST UP ! We spotted a Tortoise and a cute Pig inside a little fenced area. The girls enjoyed the interaction. Then we headed inside to get out of the heat and see more stuff. A sweet young lady at reception welcomed us and asked if we would make a $15 donation....kind of the price of admission. We saw a number of snakes, a Chameleon, Starfish, Central Bearded Dragon ( from Australia ), Tropical Fish and more. VERY CLEAN RESTROOMS ! We used the 2 restrooms opposite each other inside. My wife bought 2 cute wallets for the girls and 2 bags of lettuce to feed the Tortoise & the Pig. Then we headed back to our car to gather our lunch sandwiches and other snack stuff. We found a shaded area ( a number of tables with umbrellas ) below the main building where we sat and enjoyed our lunch. After lunch we headed back up to the main building where we saw a Swallow's nest, a Great Horned Owl, a Peregrine Falcon and an American Kestrel....all of these raptors had suffered some sort of permanent injury which prevented them from being able to survive in the wild. We took the girls over to feed some lettuce to the Tortoise and the fat little Pig. The girls loved hand feeding the little guys and then headed inside to wash their hands in the restroom. WE HAD A FUN TIME !

Jul 25, 2023 Great place to take little ones, they have a small chicken coup with turtles that your able to purchase a small snack bag and feed them.
A small tide pool with shark to touch.
Plenty of outdoor space to roam for little ones.

Jan 28, 2024 Trails all around the lagoon have Aqua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation to thank for their care. Likewise, the Foundation engages in education and community building. Anyone can join and enjoy the fun and camaraderie of preserving the lagoon for generations to come. What’s not to love?

Mar 17, 2019 Super fun. Great for kids & curious nature people. We got to hold all kinds of reptiles, pet underwater creatures, dig for fossils, & go on a nature hike. Super friendly knowledgeable staff.

Feb 1, 2023 Our 7 year old really enjoyed touching a shark, and getting to touch and hold the different animals. The staff were lovely! So glad we stopped.
