I'm in love with this aquarium!! It's such a cool experience where I get to just have fun. It's really nice to just relax and chill out with friends or family. I love seeing all the different animals and I swear I learn something new every time I go!! It's usually around $50 per ticket which is pricey for me so I don't go too often but when I do I feel like it's totally worth it. I've only ever gone to the aquarium but I'm looking forward to checking out the whale watching one of these days! I feel like there's a whole bunch to look at and it tends to look really fancy to me. I highly recommend checking it out once! The employees are kind and there's a couple that seem super into showing all the cool things these animals can do which is great! I love learning from someone who is passionate about their job!
We were visiting our son in Southern California and we were looking for something to do on Saturday. Our son suggested that we go to the Aquarium of the Pacific. So, 5 adults went to the aquarium. I initially thought that we would be a bit bored. But I was wrong! We thoroughly enjoyed each exhibit. The aquarium was much bigger than I expected. There were plenty of excellent to our delight. When we looked for tickets online it stated that they only sold timed entry tickets. But we bought tickets at the aquarium and they allowed us to go in immediately. We highly recommend going to the aquarium.
