Things To Do and See at the Aquarium of the Pacific

Whatever time you decide to go, where else can you view sea creatures from Southern California, Northern Pacific, and Tropical Pacific all in one place? Kids and adults will love the Aquarium’s touch tanks and be amazed by Shark Lagoon and the Penguin Habitat.

Aquarium of the Pacific displays over 12,000 sea creatures by their area of origin. Extra-charge attractions include Fish Story 3D and Monsters of the Abyss 3-D.

Lorikeet Forest offers free admission, but there is a small fee for a cup of nectar to feed the birds. However, the experience of having the little birds perch on your arms and head is well worth the additional cost. Moreover, plenty of activities can keep a family occupied within the Aquarium for at least half a day.

For animal lovers, the Long Beach Aquarium is a must-see destination. A visit to this world-class aquarium can be both educational and unforgettable.
