Made entrance into the aquarium very easy! Liked that a limited amount of people would enter at the same time which kept things moving faster inside.

It was my first time at the aquarium and it was during COVID restrictions so I want to just have that little disclaimer. I’ve lived in So Cal for almost a decade now and haven’t been there so I took my teenage daughter and we made a day out of it. The ticketing process online was pretty straight forward. There is also a large parking garage adjacent to the aquarium that is convenient. I did notice it gets full by lunchtime so it would be best to get there early. We had no problem parking. There is a nice piece of artwork/monument just outside the entrance that simulates the sound of the ocean; it was nice. Once you go in, you are immediately greeted with a large lobby and a large whale hanging from the ceiling. There is a large tank at the far end where most people start. Overall the aquarium had what you would expect as far as exhibits. One thing I didn’t realize is that the aquarium is somewhat small, but don’t let that fool you. It had plenty of things to see. The seals and penguins were a highlight. This aquarium also has the most, by far, exhibits of jellyfish I have personally seen. I also really enjoyed the “Blue Revolution” movie in the theater on the 2nd floor. The aquarium had several places to eat or get a snack. They also had a relatively large souvenir store and I felt it was reasonably priced. I did it stop to read everything but it still took a couple hours to walk through. Just be advised there is no re-entry, and don’t forget to get the parking discount on your way out that will save you a dollar. Back at the parking garage there are pay stations on the 1st and 2nd floor but you can also pay at the exit. Overall a great little experience for the aquarium We also did the harbor tour. The only negative thing I can say about this was the condition of the boat, it was old and rusted. Now let me preface this, I felt the boat was safe, just not in the best looking condition as compared to the other vessels the company had. The crew was great and pointed out key things in the harbor.
