Seymour Marine Discovery Center

Santa Cruz, California

Aquarium, Science, University

In 2000, the Seymour Marine Discovery Center opened at UC Santa Cruz's Long Marine Lab, providing a permanent home for expanding science education programs. Unlike the polished look of most museums and aquariums, the Seymour Center portrays the labs where scientists spend their days. Exhibits highlight Monterey Bay and help visitors understand the types of questions scientists ask, and show why research is important in understanding and protecting the world's oceans. Our unique location at a university marine laboratory enables us to work closely with the scientists, bringing their work directly to our visitors.

The Seymour Center houses exhibit halls, aquarium, teaching labs, conference hall, and spectacular views of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
