Community members, volunteers, and docents are invited to come together for a special farewell celebration for the beloved UC Davis Underwater Lake Tahoe Lounge, an immersive space at the UC Davis Tahoe Science Center created to give visitors a unique, in-depth view of the diverse life beneath the surface of Lake Tahoe. This gathering will be held on December 13, 2024, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Tahoe Science Center in Incline Village, allowing the community to say goodbye before the exhibit closes.

Since opening in June 2022, the lounge has provided an immersive educational experience that has captivated visitors, young and old, with its intricate and colorful murals. Artist Susie Alexander brought the lake’s iconic fish, plants, and underwater landscapes to life, helping viewers understand and appreciate the rich biodiversity of Lake Tahoe.

All are welcome to attend this community event, which will include light refreshments and remarks from UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center representatives, community members who contributed to and supported the creation of this educational space, and mural artist Susie Alexander. The farewell celebration will also be a time for attendees to share their memories and document the mural, preserving the legacy of a space that brought Lake Tahoe’s wonders closer to all.
