You Can Bring California’s Water Story to Life

Because water connects everything

In the heart of the Central Valley, water shapes our lives.

But kids here are growing up disconnected.

Many children in our valley have never touched a sea star.

Never watched a salmon swim upstream.

Never seen the link between the river behind their school and the ocean hundreds of miles away.

You can change that

With your help, the Fresno Aquarium will tell the whole water story of Central California — from Sierra snowmelt to the San Joaquin River to the Pacific Ocean.

It will be a living classroom where students:

  • Learn important, science-based information about our unique San Joaquin Valley

  • Explore tidepools filled with living sea creatures

  • Discover rivers and the ocean as one connected system

And it will be a community landmark that brings science, wonder and understanding to the heart of the Valley.

What your gift builds

Your donation doesn’t just build walls and tanks.

  • It builds curiosity in young minds.

  • It builds stewardship for rivers and oceans.

  • It builds pride in the place we all call home.

Because of you, the Central Valley will finally have a public aquarium that celebrates water’s journey — and inspires future generations to protect it.

This is your legacy

Help create a place where science comes alive…

Where conservation begins with wonder…

Where our community can see — and care for — the water story it lives every day.
