Crab Cove Visitor Center at Crown Memorial State Beach in Alameda celebrates 35 years in 2014. Operated by the East Bay Regional Park District.
Crab Cove Visitor Center at Crown Memorial State Beach in Alameda celebrates 35 years in 2014. Since 1979, we have been connecting people with the marine and shoreline life, as well as Alameda history. You can see bay creatures in the 800-gallon aquarium system, use interactive stations for varying age groups to view microscopic animals, build a crab from the inside out, or get a lug worm's view of the mudflats. You'll see amazing depictions of the underwater world of San Francisco Bay. At the Visitor Center you can also plunge into San Francisco Bay without getting wet, or travel back in time to Alameda's colorful past.
These entertaining educational opportunities all have a serious purpose--to increase public understanding of the environmental importance of San Francisco Bay. There is strong emphasis on the interdependence of marine life and shore life and on the urgency of preserving the marine and estuarine environment.
Dedicated to interpreting relationships between people and the earth's marine environment, this center attracts visitors from all over the Bay Area.
Operated by the East Bay Regional Park District.
Hours vary seasonally: check our official web site before you visit.
