Touch the Bay - PG&E Bay Lab and Land Animals - new interactive exhibit at Aquarium of the Bay, San Francisco, CA

"Touch the Bay"
PG&E Bay Lab & Land Animals
The Aquarium of the Bay's largest new interactive climate change exhibit (sponsored by Pacific Gas and Electric Company) features a variety of local and exotic Land-Dwelling Animals — some of which can be touched (see info and pictures on right of page).

Land Animals NOT-to-be Touched

Enjoy animal interactions, hands-on science experiments and special presentations. Special computer kiosk stations enable visitors to learn more about climate change issues, calculate their carbon footprint and even send special e-cards to friends and family.

Touch Pools
Always a favorite with aquarium visitors, the "Touch the Bay" exhibit space has two Touch Pools where visitors can touch marine animals — Leopard Sharks, Skate, Bat Rays, Guitar Fish — and more Giant-Colored Starfish than we could count! We saw our first-ever Sunflower Starfish here.

During a recent visit to the aquarium's PG&E Lab, we got to see a demo of these amazing little solar-powered vehicles — the tiny things run on light. What a FUN toy! Where can we buy one... or two?
