  Enjoy our NEW Educational Video Series

     Newport Landing offers free educational videos, curriculum packets, activity sheets, whale and dolphin information plus fun and educational activities. LIVE FIELD TRIP INFORMATION: All students enjoy our $11 field trip whale watching cruise rate per person (retails for $37.50) Good for public schools, private schools, home schools, & all types of kids groups. Newport Landing provides multiple whale watching and dolphin cruises daily year round aboard our specifically built-for-whale-watching ships, the Ocean Explorer and the Legacy. Our cruises depart from Newport Harbor in Newport Beach. Newport Harbor is s surrounded by the famous coastlines of Laguna Beach and Newport Beach. On one of our whale watching cruises you can expect to see dolphins, sea lions, marine birds and, of course, whales. The winter and spring months bring the annual grey whale migration with over 10,000 gray whales participating and the summer and fall months, giant blue whales which migrate into the coastal waters in the hundreds to feed. Along with gray whales and blue whales, see humpback whales, minke whales, finback whales, and many species of dolphin year round. Over 2300 whales were viewed in 2019! Why are there some many whales just outside of Newport Harbor? The answer is the unique marine ecosystem which brings nutrient rich waters very close to shore. The unique ecosystem is so special that a 15 mile state marine protected park was created in 2012 to ensure this rich environment remains for generations to come.

  Virtual Field Trips Are Here! OdySea Aquarium welcomes Preschool through 12th grade public, private, charter, and homeschool students.

     OdySea Aquarium Virtual Field Trips Calling all teachers! Why let all the online fun (and learning) be reserved for social or business occasions? OdySea Aquarium is bringing field trips right into the classroom with Virtual Field Trips that include LIVE animals and correlating curriculum activities specifically created for every grade level. Teachers can give the gift of excitement and wonder to their students with these interactive virtual programs featuring amazing penguins, majestic sharks, or adorable sloths! Designed for students in grades K - 12, an OdySea Aquarium Virtual Field Trip is a three-tiered program that includes: A LIVE, interactive virtual session that takes students behind-the-scenes at OdySea Aquarium right into the animals' habitat accompanied by knowledgeable OdySea animal experts Informative educational videos made exclusively by OdySea Aquarium about the chosen animal species (to view before or after the live session) Curriculum-based activities to introduce and reinforce STEM concepts to students (to use at the teacher's discretion any time leading up to the LIVE session or after) "What really makes our Virtual Field Trips different is the LIVE session with our outgoing Animal Care and Education teams who directly interact with the students, answering their questions and allowing the animals to take center-stage - up-close for everyone to see," said OdySea Aquarium's Director of Animal Care and Education, Jessica Peranteau. "Thanks to the miracles of technology, our Virtual Field Trips actually give students incredible access to both these amazing animals and those that care for them, and this translates into a retention of information and an experience they won't soon forget." As in-person field trips remain on-hold at most schools, an OdySea Aquarium Virtual Field Trip is a safe alternative for students in all grade levels to explore, learn and gain a sense for the significance of these remarkable animals. The $175 price includes up to 30 logins per class on the Zoom or Google Classroom platforms. OdySea is currently taking reservations for the 2020/2021 school year and teachers can pick from a variety of dates and times that fit their class schedule. Discounts apply when additional classrooms join a session from the same school and/or when multiple animal modules are added.
