“Look, Feel and Play While Learning” is what its all about at this aquarium, packed with a unique twist on activities that both kids and adults love.
Get up close and personal with marine friends like giant Pacific octopuses, rays, starfish, gentle nurse sharks, bamboo sharks, eels, crabs, and shrimp. Visit during the summer to see the seasonal exclusive “Splashing Sea Pool” and the chance to play alongside around 1,000 marine creatures. Daily dolphin shows, seal feeding times, and close-up encounters with charming Humboldt penguins during their walks make this one especially travel-worthy spot.
Other highlights include the "Great Ocean Tank," where visitors can witness spectacular schools of sardines. There's also a special "Floating Over the Sea" area with glass-bottom tanks showcasing coral reefs, and an underwater tunnel with views up at the penguins that seem to almost glide right by above your head.
The aquarium also offers special programs such as coastal marine life observation sessions and overnight stays (available for groups only), along with various reservation-required experiences.
