Family days work best with rhythm: big moments, quiet pauses, repeat.
Core Plan
| Time | Plan |
|---|---|
| 10:00 | Arrive & Sharks |
| 11:00 | Snack + Jellies |
| 11:30 | Sea Cliffs |
| 12:15 | Lunch break |
| 13:00 | Sea lion show |
| 14:00 | Pick a favorite to revisit |
| 15:00 | Boardwalk stroll & treats |
Keep flex time for revisiting Sharks or an extra window at Sea Cliffs — kids love repeats.
Variations
- Rainy: Shift Sea Cliffs later; add extra jellies time.
- Hot day: Alternate indoor/outdoor every 30–45 minutes.
- Toddler nap: Stagger Sharks with stroller laps.
