Chula Vista Nature
Center is located on Sweetwater
Marsh National Wildlife Refuge San Diego
Bay. The
Nature Center is zoo and aquarium
exhibiting plants and animals native to San Diego Bay.
Visitors can get up-close and personal visit with endangered
Green Sea Turtles, shorebirds,
hawks, sharks, stingrays, and jellyfish. In the early 80's,
the City of Chula Vista had the foresight to create
the Nature Center which, since its opening July 4,
1987, has become a recognized international leader
in wetland-related programs and exhibits. In 1989,
the Sweetwater Marsh and a portion of its uplands became
the Sweetwater Marsh National Wildlife Refuge.
