  $16 Whale Watching Cruise Special (Retail $38)

     Newport Landing provides multiple whale watching and dolphin cruises daily year round aboard our specifically built-for-whale-watching ships, the Ocean Explorer and the Legacy. Our cruises depart from Newport Harbor in Newport Beach. Newport Harbor is s surrounded by the famous coastlines of Laguna Beach and Newport Beach. On one of our whale watching cruises you can expect to see dolphins, sea lions, marine birds and, of course, whales. The winter and spring months bring the annual grey whale migration with over 10,000 gray whales participating and the summer and fall months, giant blue whales which migrate into the coastal waters in the hundreds to feed. Along with gray whales and blue whales, see humpback whales, minke whales, finback whales, and many species of dolphin year round. Over 2200 whales were viewed in 2018! Why are there some many whales just outside of Newport Harbor? The answer is the unique marine ecosystem which brings nutrient rich waters very close to shore. The unique ecosystem is so special that a 15 mile state marine protected park was created in 2012 to ensure this rich environment remains for generations to come. Reserve your cruises online or just give us a call at 949-675-0551. (less) ... Read more

  Want a shorter and more personalized event that is not a party? Try our fun activities! Fun activities are for a one-on-one with your child, parent/child bonding, a small group of friends playdate, or larger groups like the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Like our birthday party, kids join us to build a robot to take home (keep at home for the online sessions) with step-by-step instructions while having fun learning. More than just building robots, our staff will share our passion for robotics, engineering, and technology. There are so many varieties of robots to build - from the wicked smart crab robot as seen on Youtube being built by the world-famous Youtube star - Blippi, to the cute environmentally-friendly recycled box robot. Each robot built by the kid themselves serves as a fun reminder that they have the tech power in them! As for Scout groups looking to complete robotics or coding Merit Badges, we offer workshops from one-hour session to multiple sessions. We help you easily reach your goal with special Scout pricing. No matter a large group or one child, we look forward to showing you the wonders that come with robot building and robotics overall. (less) ... Read more
