Beautiful place to visit withfamily and friends but certainly a bit overpriced, i wish it was a bit on the more affordable side but overall a great place to come too

I've been to more impressive aquariums in the country, but this is still a fun and informative place to visit. Their shark exhibit is pretty dull compared to other places (ie, there's no "tunnel of sharks") but they have seals and sea lions, penguins, and some nice hands-on exhibits. You can feed lorakeets and touch starfish and sea urchin.

Great, educational place for families to bring their children to learn about marine life and to observe sea creatures up close. My son absolutely loved this place.

This is a beautiful aquarium. The displays are wonderful and there is enough room to keep things comfortable when there are large groups.

Amazing. So many displays to look at. Really awesome, large aquarium. It's on the expensive side, though.

AWESOME EXPERIENCE!

I love the Aquarium of the Pacific. It is the second most visited Aquarium in the US! They have all kinds of really wonderful exhibits including Penguins and sharks. I LOVE the Tropical exhibit with all kinds of colorful fish, coral and sea turtles. Divers talk to you inside the water tanks and you can also watch them feed the animals and the fish. They have a boat that can take you on a hands on ocean experience. There is nothing I can say negative about this family friendly place! I bought a Family pass so I can to the Aquarium anytime I want for free! It pays for itself.

Beyond a Childs imagination!

9/2012 I took my 3 yr old Niece and she did not want to leave! Lol Filled with surprising entertaiment and a theater for watching movies. At the time it was "A Turtle's Tale" cartoon. Scuba divers swimming with cretures and interacting with the crowd. I personally loved every moment of the non-tireless things to do along with the countless floors to explore with a variety of sea creatures. Thus far the BEST!
