Birch Aquarium , La Jolla California |
| Birch Aquarium may not be quite as big as some of California's major aquariums but it has the best location and is a lot less crowded. There are two main galleries one which are full of interactive things for kids to do. The second and larger is the "Hall of Fishes' which has 22 aquarium displays filled with colorful fishes the largest of which is a 70,000 gallon kelp forest. Stepping out the back door of the aquarium you are greeted with one of San Diego's best ocean views and the hands on tide pool area. This is a fun and educational day trip for the entire family will enjoy. Prices are very reasonable with adults costing $11.00 and kids $7.50 each. The Splash Cafe outside in the courtyard has beverages, sandwiches, snacks. Plan on spending at least two hours at the aquarium and don't forget to visit the gift shop. The view of the Pacific Ocean is worth the trip alone. |
