Malibu Lagoon Education Programs

Field Trips at Malibu Lagoon State Beach

Malibu Lagoon is a phenomenal place to bring students to learn about wetland ecology. We have two options for school field trips at this location: 

1. Self-Guided: Bring students and chaperones to create your own adventure at this site. State Parks can provide suggestions for you to facilitate this trip. Teachers participating in self-guided field trips are encouraged to visit the Park prior to their program to orient themselves and can schedule to meet with someone from our team. Approved K-12 schools may have parking fees waived. Field trips must be planned at least one month in advance. Please contact us at Malibu.FieldTrips@parks.ca.gov
2. Guided: Join our partners at the Resource Conversation District of the Santa Monica Mountains for their Marine Science Field Trip! Learn about lagoon ecology through bird watching, looking at microorganisms in microscopes, and gathering scientific data. Walk down to the beach to see where Malibu Creek meets the sea and how that creates a unique ecosystem! Please visit RCD's Field Trip Programs webpage to learn more about this field trip and to contact their team.
