Birch Aquarium is an aquarium at the University of California, San Diego. It is described as the "public exploration center" for the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO).

The first building dedicated to the aquarium was built in 1915. [1] The aquarium moved across La Jolla Shores Drive and up the bluff overlooking SIO to its present day site in 1992.
