Great place for education and to spend your day. The aquarium is self guided as it isn't big at all. All you need at most is at two hours and plan it around one of their feeding tours during the weekends (shark feeding and kelp tank feeding). Love that they have their tanks arranged by region so you can really grasp how each animal differs by location. Also like how they have exhibits that discusses climate change and the affect it has. Plus they are all interactive. Especially enjoyed their seahorse exhibits. They even have a great view of La Jolla by the tidepools.

Tip: Parking is free (three hours) and if you are Bank of America member, you can come here for free on their posted dates.
