Join us at Mount Batten beach to discover more about the incredible creatures living in our rockpools!

Our Ocean Discovery Rangers will guide you around the rocky shore, and use science and storytelling to help you understand more about our local wildlife. The Plymouth coastline has so much to offer and we are excited to bring you long for the ride! The session is 1.5 hours long but you can stay as little or as long as you like!
