Some people here say it's a small aquarium. It isn't small, it is tiny! We went over all fish exhibits in 10-15 minutes! I was in shock. It has very few sharks in a separate tank outside, ONE turtle, no penguins, no area to touch stingrays and star fish. And i thought our inland aquaruim, which has at least 5 times the number of exhibits and same admission price, was small! They make it up somewhat with kids' play area, which seems to excite kids more than the aquarium itself, nice observation area facing the ocean and a couple activities for the kids. We were there during their tank cleaning/fish feeding show and the last part was fun. Overall it feels like a big disappointment considering that it's an aquarium located on the coast and the top rated one in San Diego.
