Tides L.A. is a three-hour drop-off Marine Biology experience for children grades 1st-8th. Tides L.A. has two locations: Malibu and Palos Verdes, located at different beaches in Malibu and Palos Verdes each week. Nature journals in-hand, students learn about marine creatures, marine plants, birds, tide pools, ecosystems, and sustainability, all in a hands-on, exploratory learning environment.
