If you aren't sure about donating, or want to see what your funding will support, please learn more about our programs, our mission, and how we spread ocean awareness.  Watch this fantastic video created by Shannon at Avery J Productions.  This video was created for a fundraiser hosted for us by the LA25. 


Your donations help support:

  • FREE admission to the aquarium, which helps us educate over 100,000 visitors each year from around the world. Many of whom would not be educated about the ocean environment without free access to the Roundhouse Aquarium.
  • Our growing volunteer and internship programs. Allowing individuals in high school, college, and beyond to gain valuable experience in marine science, biology, and environmental education, and learn valuable life skills.
  • A highly dedicated and educated staff, committed to educating people about the diverse life found in the oceans, the impact of the oceans on our daily lives, and the impacts humans have on the marine environment.
  • Beautiful and educational tanks and displays with native marine life.
