Join us on the second Saturday of every month from 10am- 2pm when we host Weekend Wonders in partnership with the Port of Long Beach! Come aboard for a deck tour, and then take part in small group lessons and crafts around the deck. We have a different theme each month.

Due to maintenance projects, Weekend Wonders is currently on hold. Please check back for updates!
