In addition to our classes, the Roundhouse is open to the public 7 days a week free of charge.  We operate solely on donations, corporate sponsorships, and grants.

OTS is equipping the Roundhouse Aquarium to make it one of the finest aquarium/classrooms on the Santa Monica Bay.  There is no federal, state, city or county funding available for equipment or maintenance. We have three full time and three part time paid employees, the rest are volunteers.  Please help us build a marine science landmark, or sponsor a class or an outreach program for your school or a low-income district school. Your donations are tax deductible and donations over $100 are recognized on a plaque in the aquarium. 

We also need sponsors for our tanks.  Tank sponsorships provide support necessary to care for the animals in the tank throughout the year.
