Aquarium of the Pacific Review

Even though we aren't allowed inside it was still worth it. My daughter really enjoyed herself.

My family had such an amazing time here. All the animals and beautiful sea creatures were very well taken care of great job!!!

Great for families with young kids. Really like how it's both educational and fun.

Members for many years, our families enjoy it a lot, and we do too.
Great Aquarium and Great to have in our community.
Thanks for the Great Staff, functions, and Leadership that makes it possible to be a proud member of it for past years, and many more in the future.

So many nest things to see! Give yourself about 3-4 hours if you want to see everything.

Always a nice place to take the kid's and explore. Still under renovation. Looking forward to seeing the newness.

It was a fun day filled with hands on experiences for kids.

Magellan penguins are so cute,the whale watch tour are really worthy.

Awesome experience, we done a Behind the Scenes Tour. We all gained knowledge and had a blast!

Many Exotic Fish, lots To learn .
Well Organized, Beautiful, clean tanks
Petting Zone Amaizing

Homeschool field Trip was a well learn Experience!

Small but fun for the kids but try to go during the week for the best experience

Had lots of fun with my family. There was something for everyone to enjoy. Our favorite animal was the Jelly Fish. My kids really enjoyed petting the sharks and Sting Rays, it was the high light of the evening.

Great food trucks, awesome bands, cheerful atmosphere. Best part of attending at night was NO crying kids and NO STROLLERS! Different DJ's on every part of the aquarium had me dancing my way to the next venue. Alcoholic beverages are a tad pricey but it's all for a good cause. I'd highly recommend a season pass.

it's a great place to go with the family they have all kinds of different sea animals. you get to learn about all different kinds of fish and sea creatures. I recommend get the behind the scenes tour is amazing and you get to feed the fish and see fish that the public wont be able to see.

Nice aquarium in Long Beach. Good mix of indoor/outdoor exhibits including see&touch ponds outside. Ticket price is kind of pricey, so look for discounts beforehand. Convenient adjacent parking lot.

Great place for the family. Get there early enough and you'll beat the crowds. Nice places to eat near by and boat tours. Lovely part of long Beach. Parking 8 dollars if you stay more than 2 hours.

It's a really nice family oriented place. I liked it.

It was good but not as great as it could be with the different sea life.

Move this place the kids had a ball. They have a booklet to stamp to win a prize (which we did). They got to touch Sting rays, sharks and jelly fish. They have a walk through tunnel where you have water all around you. They had several shows involving the penguins and otters we only saw these two. The guide gives good information hoe to get around the park and times of shows so you don't miss out. Good place for some good ole family fun!

We can touch the jellyfish and other sea animals !! That's my first time to touch them .that is amazing!

Lots of things to do. Touch tanks, children's events. Inside and out.

The Aquarium of the Pacific is an excellent place to visit on a weekend. It has numerous aquatic exhibitions and provides a great opportunity to learn about the aquatic ecosystem.

Numerous fish species can be observed that would be not easily be observable in their natural habitat.

The water tanks are appropriately sized for the exhibited species and provide good visibility.

The creatures look healthy and the place is clean. Wish it was bigger but fun and educational overall in the area.

Great Aquarium, clean, nice staff,good prices. We had a cherry Danish,hot dogs,fries,food was decent.

Beautiful aquarium. They have a bird exhibit as well as marine animals. Also a new frog exhibit. My family loves the shark and ray touch tanks

A great place to spend the day with friends or family. It isn't a large aquarium, but you can tell the people that work there really care about the animals they work with rather then a huge place for profit. The habitats are clean and the animals look healthy.

I wish there was more information on some animals. I would love to know more but some animals didn't have information spots or were very hidden.

Overral a great place, easy parking and not to expensive.

Really fun! Our 8 year old grandson lived petting sharks! Very friendly staff, clean, interesting!

I love this aquarium, it is very recreational, and fun. It is a good option to visit on weekends.

My babies loved it! Not too big, not too small. Lots to see and do! Military friendly pricing!

We had just the best time here. This aquarium by far is the best one we have visited. John who is a tour guide there took us on a surprise behind the scenes tour. We got within a few feet of one of the sea turtles. I hope John knows what an impact his very kind gesture had on us. We will remember this trip forever and you can bet that we will be back to see John again and your wonderful facility..

I loved this aquarium. It wasn't too big to see everything, they provided a wheelchair for my mother at no extra charge, and the whole place was easily accessible. All the employees were helpful & knowledgeable. We really enjoyed feeding the lorikeets. Watching the seals & sea lions was relaxing.

One of my favorite aquariums! Anytime I'm in the area it is a just see! As time progresses it does seem to get quite busy and populated. They have multiple interactive stations. It is fun for all ages!

Fun, but not the best. I did like the petting area and the informative crew.

I love going there. There s always something new to see. Easy to park people are nice I give it a five.

Such a nice day trip! There was plenty to look at and all the employees were very knowledgeable and kind.

Very small aquarium and not what I was expecting. Good for entertaining kids and they have a lot of food/ snacks/ drinks... that's about it

Great place for family time. You can even touch some of the harmless sharks they have.

Always a fun time with the family. If you're going to spend the day here, check out the harbor cruise, it's worth it.

Want there on a Friday and it was perfect because there wasn't so many people there. Had lots of fun and staff are very good at there job.

Unexpectedly very enjoyable.. busy but still possible to see sufficient exhibits..

Go here all the time. The renovations & construction going on, right now, is a pain, but it'll be well worth dealing with it on a regular basis to hunt pokemon in the surrounding area, because the aquarium is going to be amazing, after, too!

Loved spending the morning here. Really educational and some great sights.

Need to come early to get good parking. Aquarium was kind of crowded. Staff was very friendly and informative!

A membership is so worth it. Knowing we can come see the penguins, feed the lorikeets, and pet the sharks whenever we want lets us plan great weekend day adventures. We ll get lunch nearby, take a boat tour of the harbor, or see the Queen Mary in addition to visiting the Aquarium, and it s wonderful to not have the pressure of feeling like we have to get the most out of a one day ticket.

Gone twice and enoyed every time. My 1 year old loved it.

Love this place. Have a membership here and love the special member events they have. Great family fun. News exhibits every so often

So much fun for kids of all ages. Great interactive center.

Very educational, well organized for homeschooling 2 days /year, 7 $/person. Regular price 30$. You have to get in from 9-12am for homeschooling, and you can stay until closing at 6:00pm. Bring a lunch, or go upstairs for the cafe. Downstairs is a snack area with sweets and coffee.
Don't forget to validate your parking ticket at the Aquarium. You'll pay just 8$. Otherwise, you will pay by the hour.

Fun and interactive place. My toddler and nephew loved seeing the sea lions.

Felt like a kid again ..closet early so i only had a 45 min look ...........

Only the outdoor areas are open but it was still a great time. Seals and Sea lions were very entertaining.

Love the new part Pacific Visions great interactive for all ages about our future and the planets growing changes.
Love seeing the educational seal lion show.
4 stars because the map in the visitors guide is not great

Great aquarium with well kept animals. The behind the scenes tour was really amazing. Our guide Hannah had the perfect about of professionalism while not being stuffy. She was fun and upbeat and really made it special. The tanks are lovely and everyone is really happy. Don't go in the am on weekdays though. Kid field trips, multiple and the children are super rude and pushy.

This place is good for going out with kids. There are variety of fishes including the sharks. Sea lions and penguins are another USP. You can also view the training session of sea lions which is a good experience.

Such a great place for kids and adults. We're annual pass holders.

you can see almost all kinds of sea life,the staff were nice,me and my family had great time there

So much to see and do. Love all the cute fish and sea creatures. I don't know how long they've had this, but last time I went they had a tank of moon jellies that you could pet. You can pet jellyfish and they don't harm you. I thought it was really cool.

I love coming here for the afternoon. Can't wilt till the btw sea lion exhibit opens.

Great family friendly place. If you go on the weekend get ready for crowds. It could be really packed sometimes. Also, it's not the cheapest place. You could get the tickets online for a better price.

Amazing experience! The different aquariums feature various California sea life with sharks, jelly fish, crabs, starfish, fishes, and much more.

Always nice to go see what sea life is there, all the staff are really polite and very helpful. There's tons of walk through exhibits and tide pools so you can touch the sea life. Great for learning experiences and family friendly.

This place is amazing. I go with my wife about once a year.

An awesome place to take my daughter for the afternoon. Only the outside attractions are open.

Love coming here with my son we always have such a fantastic time!!

My absolute favorite aquarium to visit! The animals/amphibians/fish appear to be well cared for and the enclosures are very clean. The staff and volunteers are friendly and helpful and are very knowledgeable. My go to exhibits are the lorikeets (purchase the nectar for $4.. trust me, it is worth the experience), penguins (be sure to visit the little tunnel so you can see the penguins swimming underwater), and all the touch tanks (especially the new jelly fish touch tank).

Many Exotic Fish, lots To learn .

A wonderful learning and interactive experience.
After visiting NYC's aquarium so many times, it was really exciting to see so many different species.

Fishy fishy fishy fishy. Seriously though it's a great place. I like to go towards the evening, less crowded and more time with the stations. Like where else can you touch jelly fish and not have to worry about being stung! The gift shop More

My favorite place. Always fun. Highly recommended.
