Not Your Average Nature Documentary
Get the ultimate sneak peek of Human Footprint

Picture this: a Princeton biologist hosts a new PBS nature and science documentary series, where hip hop legend Adrian Younge produces the soundtrack, and the production company behind it is based in San Diego. Not exactly what you picture when you think of a nature documentary, is it?

Come to The Nat on June 27 at 7 PM for a Nat Talk and exclusive pre-screening of Human Footprint, a brand-new, six-part documentary series airing on PBS this summer. You'll meet the host, Shane Campbell-Staton, and hear from the filmmakers at Day's Edge Productions. 

Alright, I'm hooked

Whale-come Summertime
Blue whale watching has begun!

It's that time again—maybe our favorite time of year—when we can spot blue whales swimming and feeding off the coast. Come along with City Cruises to see these magnificent gentle giants (and lots of other marine life). Cruises are 9 AM–1 PM on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays.
