California Science CenterEcosystems
Discover how environment affects living things—and vice versa—in a new immersive exhibit. Ecosystems
is divided into eight zones, each of which demonstrates a different ecological principle. In Extreme Zone, visitors feel the heat of a desert ecosystem and the chill of an “ice wall” in a polar ecosystem. Forest Zone includes an underwater kelp forest inhabited by such California coastal creatures as leopard sharks and moray eels. Island Zone, home to lizards and tropical fish, shows the workings of evolution in isolated habitats. Ecosystems
also features a Discovery Room especially designed for children seven and younger.Permanent ExhibitVisit the exhibit website
