The Living Coast Discovery Center is fun for all ages. The giant green turtles outside welcome you into a small exhibit building with displays, a meeting room, and a gift shop. However, there is more outside. The shorebird and raptor in cages area winds around 2 sides of the building. There is also a small aquarium in the back with regular feeding times. The other side of the street offers several easy trails that lead to the Pacific Ocean and tells the history of mining in this area. Along the way we spotted one cotton tail rabbit, a hummingbird, and many shorebirds. As the parking lot (free) is off site, a free bus brings you into this center. Although the $16.00 entry fee for an adult seems hefty for the small size of the building itself, but the other parts -- trails, butterfly garden, caged birds, and aquarium -- makes this a spot that appeals to all ages and interests.
