Join us for the 2026 in-person Open House!

• When? Saturday, April 25th, 2026: 9am to ~4pm
• Where? Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, 8272 Moss Landing Road, Moss Landing CA 95039
• What? Open House is a free, family friendly event hosted by MLML. Each year, we open our doors to the community and invite you to learn about the research that goes on here, both in your backyard and around the world. We will be hosting activities such as invertebrate touch tanks, educational speed talks, scavenger hunts, and exhibits where we teach you about everything from kelp forests to penguins in the Antarctic.
• Questions? Email us at mlml-openhouse@sjsu.edu.

ALL ADMISSION AND ACTIVITES ARE FREE. However, please consider donating to the amazing students who plan and execute this event. Your donation will help the work we do here continue. There will be food and drinks available for purchase, as well as student artwork and student-designed MLML merch! There will also be an auction to win prizes and experiences donated by the local community. Save the date! All profits will go to the student scholarship crowdfunding effort.

Our fundraising goal is $20,000 to support student scholarships, marine research equipment, and funding to cover research experiences. Even if you are unable to make it to the Open House this year, please consider donating to help support MLML students. We will be sending special thank you's to our donors!
