Matthieu Achini

Beautiful aquarium with a beautiful collection. Staff is really nice and eager to have a chat with you. I really love the approach they have concerning the animals. But get all this shops away!!!

Noel Clarke

Really nice Aquarium with inside and outside sections and touch pools for the kids. Plenty of places outside to chill as well and restaurants near by. Good day for the family

Jay Hartwig

Easy to burn right through it, but sea lion show was cool. Bought combo tickets to do the whale watching cruise the next day as well . Highly recommended.

OC Weekly

Get the chance to come face to face with some of the Pacific Oceans sea life and even have hands on experience with rays and more in their Shark Lagoon ! Don’t forget to see the penguins!

Elias Gonzalez

Awesome place, very nice exhibits . All personnel is very courteous and ready to help or explain anything about the exhibits

Anna Wooten

You have to go to the second floor and see my art on the wall of the blue fin Tuna and the Chilian Sea Bass it is a watercolor it has been there since 2004. It was worth it to make it. Contract to.

Keith Petersen

One of the best aquariums in the US. Animals very well cared for, exhibits are clean and well stocked. Easy access to entire facility

Laur Lo Ski

Honestly this is a phenomenal aquarium ! I loved it and wished I lived in Cali just to visit this Aquarium . Highly recommend to all ages.

The most awesome girl showed us around last time. Chantel C. enjoys her job and cares for the creatures. We found out she was our Educator on our whale watch. Awesome!! <3 it here! Thank you Chantel.

Before you plan a trip, check on their website to see the most recent events on the calendar, some of which may have discounted admission, especially if there is a special day or night event .

James Silvey

The lorikeet area is fun, and you can feed them nectar for $4. Be sure to catch the sea lion and seal show!

Larisa Grollemond

So many children, the exhibits are great and informative, but can get very crowded on weekends.

Barbara Leon

fun place to go for a days tour with kids. A little steep in price and limited areas. A little too over crowed, but still a very nice place if your from out of town .

Jinnie L

Larger than it looks but still wish it were bigger ;) lots of cool things to see and all the tanks are beautifully maintained and colorful♡

Jinnie L

This was my second visit n I still love it :) just love the shark lagoon ! They have this area that u get to touch sting rays too ;)

Nicholas Manolelis

Great exhibitions and activities for kids and adults alike. Amazing sea life in clean environments

Krit Puenpong

Lots of activity inside and around this building. You can spend all day to participate entirely activities or just take a quick look in aquarium in an hour.

At this family-friendly weekend event 10/26-27, the Aquarium hosts the annual children’s costume contest, underwater pumpkin carving, spooky storytelling, eerie animals in the Great Hall, and more.

Jeremy Barlow

Take time to find the animals in each different exhibit . Some blend in really well but it is a fun challenge to find them.

Make sure you validate your parking at the Aquarium before you leave. It is $8 with validation and can be $15 or more without it.

Jeff Wilson

Great aquarium to visit. Great area outside to walk around the lighthouse and restaurants really close by.

Alex Huereca

Nice exhibit ! We went on a Monday and not crowded at all. Our children loved it.

eric bornemann

Good aquarium if a little small for LA. Arrive early as it’s always crazy and crawling with kids. But tixs online in advance to save a few $.

Juan Garcia

This place is an incredible learning environment. The displays are awesome but I feel the people are too rough when they touch the creatures or tap the glass.

Cesiah Castillo Covarrubias

Watch out for the birds inside the gate. They fly randomly without alerting you and they will climb all over you if you have food for them. Overall so much fun! Which is $3 in the front entrance.

Stacey~Marie

Make sure to pet the baby sharks outside! How cool are the jellies too? Love the aquarium !

Juan Pablo Sarria

Lorikeets were so cute and the whole place gives you a very interactive experience

Tara

On July 4, buy tickets for the BBQ event . The price includes all different types of picnic fare, including drinks, salads and desserts , and the cost of admission to the aquarium .

Ralph Waldo

There are some electronic ticket machines out front. The tickets roll up and get stuck where they come out. Move it around and some tickets might come out! We got 4 for free!

Victor Marquez

Great place to take the kiddos to learn about ocean life. I rather enjoyed myself more than the kids did lol

Char

One of the greatest aquariums ever! Vaquita exhibit !

Maya Conn

Ask about purchasing only the on-line digital picture. It's an option they don't mention unless requested.

jenny benevento

Great touch tanks. The hospital , lorikeet exhibit , and jellyfish were standout.

Lisandra Maioli

Cafe Scuba upstairs offers good options for lunch : from grilled fish (not for the tanks #staffjoke) to hamburgers .
