The Long Beach Aquarium is divided up into two sections, a two-level indoor area with galleries of smaller aquariums full of interesting sea creatures and an outdoor area with the Lorikeet Forest, Shark Lagoon, and the Seals & Sea Lions area.
Aquarium of the Pacific houses over 12,000 sea animals displayed by area of origin. There are two extra charge attractions: a Fish Story 3D and Monsters of the Abyss 3-D.
