Overview

Visit sharks, penguins and puffins with admission to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, and explore 19 wildlife habitats from every corner of the world’s largest ocean. Slip beneath a full-sized model of a blue whale, and catch the eye of a fierce leopard shark. Travel from a Sea of Cortez kelp forest to the ice-crusted waters off Northern Japan; watch sea horses play in a tropical lagoon, pet a shark in a kid-friendly touch tank and listen to the eerie melodies of an undersea whale song. Keeping our guests and staff safe is our top priority. We are limiting the number of visitors, requiring advance timed reservations, and managing traffic flow to ensure social distancing, requiring face coverings and temperature checks, providing numerous hand-sanitizing stations, and much more.

    Terrible. They hardly had any sea animals. It was mainly small fish and nothing interesting. Food was terrible frozen meals deep fried. Employees were also rude and all seemed to be annoyed with their job.

    It was very dirty and almost every glass aquarium was really hard to see or even get a good picture. I wouldn’t recommend this if you wanted to go out on a date but I would recommend it for kids or a school field trip

    Aquarium was ok. The “skip the line” feature advertised here is not what it seems. You skip the ticketing line but still have to wait in a huge line to get in - half of these people are waiting for the ticket line inside.

    I officially became a “senior” citizen when visiting the Aquarium yesterday. I’ve lived in CA my whole life & had never been to this magnificent place. We loved seeing all of the amazing animals & also got a kick out of the little kids.

    We are so fortunate to have such an amazing aquarium here in Long Beach. Not sure with the lady selling the nectar at the parent exhibit wouldn’t run out of nectar right when my daughter and I get to the front of the line every time. I can also recommend that the aquarium reach out to the Long Beach Police Department about aggressive driver is cutting into the line to get into the parking structure. But I will be back!
