Things To Do and See at 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.
The Long Beach Aquarium is divided into two sections, a two-level indoor area with galleries of smaller aquariums full of exciting sea creatures and outdoor space with the Lorikeet Forest, Shark Lagoon 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.
Lorikeet Forest is free but charges a few dollars for a small cup of nectar to feed the birds. It is well worth the money for the nectar cup. The little birds will end up sitting on your arms and even on your head. As you can see, there are plenty of activities to keep a family busy for at least a half-day inside the aquarium.
Dining Options Aquarium of the Pacific
There is a small snack shop inside the Aquarium; however, there are many more options along the Rainbow Harbor boardwalk if you’re hungry. Don’t spend your food money at the aquarium; they are way too many choices just outside the front door.
Some aquarium restaurants include Famous Dave’s BBQ, Bubba Gump Shrimp, Gladstones 4 Fish, and Islands burgers.
Nearby Long Beach Aquarium attractions include whale watching, harbor cruises, and a shuttle to the Queen Mary is along the boardwalk.
The aquarium of the Pacific is one of the most affordable attractions in Southern California. A family of four can visit the aquarium for less than the price of one ticket to Disneyland, California.
