Come nose to nose with the fishes at Long Beach's Aquarium of the Pacific. As one of the nation's largest aquariums, this building is teeming with more than 500 aquatic species, 19 major habitats and 32 interactive displays.
Whether you're hand-feeding lorikeets, touching a shark or learning about the regions of the Pacific, you'll develop a new appreciation for sea life and the importance of conserving the bodies of water that make up the majority of our planet. The aquarium features six major exhibits including:
- Southern California and Baja
- Northern Pacific
- Tropical Pacific
- Shark Lagoon

- Explorer's Cove
Expect to encounter sea otters, puffins, coral reef fishes, sea lions, stingrays and more on your trip to this world-renowned facility. Enjoy the aquarium's 3-D theater, take a behind-the-scenes tour, or board a Coast Guard-certified boat to whale watch off the Long Beach shore.
Lunch and snacks await you at the Bamboo Bistro and Cafe Scuba where you can sink your teeth into sandwiches, salads and other healthy fare. Don't forget to stop by the aquarium's Pacific Collections store that carries a wide variety of conservation books, educational gifts, apparel and cuddly plush sea creatures.
