Aquarium of the Pacific

First time here and my family loved it. We especially enjoyed the hands on touching the sea creatures. The moon jelly were one of my favorite. We also got to feed them and the workers were very informative. My kids I and learned quite a bit about the jelly fish and many other creatures there at the Aquarium. It's bigger then I expected. They have stamping stations for you to fill at each exhibits. As much as we enjoy the whole experience as a parent I think the souvenirs were a win for us. Unlike the LA Zoo and most other places we've been to that sells souvenirs, a lot of stuff were very reasonably priced. So thank you for helping the parents out. Over all I highly recommend this place. So much interaction for the little ones. 10/10.

Would have been 5 stars but the Cafe is kind of a joke. Overly priced food, isnt terrible but its basic food. And youre not allowed to bring food in so if you want to be there for the day you have no choice. I got a smoothie and couldnt finish it because it was in a paper cup with a paper straw and I get the environmental thing but my cup started to act exactly like it was, wet paper so I couldnt even finish it. The aquarium itself is beautiful and fun, the kids had a blast but the food thing was my biggest issue.

We went on a field trip to the aquarium. Everything went so smoothly. The employees were so attentive and gave great directions/instructions. The exhibits were also great! The students loved them. There's also a VR experience, it's $6. This was such a hit with the students.

So many cool exhibits. I've never seen so many starfish and jellyfish before. The kids were so excited to see all the sea life. They have a rain forest exhibit with those cool poison dart frogs. Multiple touch pools. We all enjoyed and it was well worth it. Parking is right there and I paid $12 for 3 hours. Many restaurants nearby. The whole thing was dope.

Always an awesome experience seeing this place. I love the aquarium. The exhibits change a little here and there and the overall experience at a moderately fast pace took my wife and I about 2 hours to complete! There is a fun little scavenger hunt in the booklet with embossing pattern makers of some species throughout the aquarium. They do some rehab work, so it was cool to see that setup. And you can feed the lorikeet birds and touch sharks and rays and jellyfish and stuff! It was a really cool, interavtive, and enjoyable time. We went in the afternoon and it was mostly families with kiddos. But the tickets were cheaper on groupon for an afternoon 3pm entry and its less busy than in the morning. There are still a few shows and things, but its more slow paced in the afternoon. Most od the shows happen around 10, 12, or 2 ish. The staff was informative and happy and the exhibits were really fun!
