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
