About the Roundhouse

The Roundhouse is the iconic red-roofed structure at the end of the Manhattan Beach pier. Inside the Roundhouse, the nonprofit organization Oceanographic Teaching Station (OTS) operates a free community aquarium that each year welcomes 300,000 visitors and 15,000 LA-area children to learn about marine life and the importance maintaining a clean ocean environment. The newly renovated Roundhouse reopened in 2018.

About the Harrison Greenberg Foundation

The Harrison Greenberg Foundation was set up in memoriam of its namesake in 2015. Inspired by Harrison’s curiosity, his love of the ocean, and his formative experiences at the aquarium, the foundation created and led the Roundhouse Beautification Project, which brought a world-class marine learning center to Southern California. The foundation is dedicated to the ongoing support of the Roundhouse Aquarium and its programs.
