This self-guided field trip offers families the chance to experience the wonders of the ocean at their own pace while discovering fascinating marine life from around the Pacific.
🐡 Three Main Galleries: Travel through the Tropical Pacific, the Southern California/Baja coast, and the chilly waters of the Northern Pacific as you learn about sea life in each unique region.
🦈 Shark Lagoon: Get up close (but not too close!) to these majestic predators and even touch some of the smaller species in the touch pools.
🦜 Lorikeet Forest Aviary: Step into a walk-through aviary where colorful lorikeets may land on you—especially if you have nectar!
💧 Water Future Exhibit: Learn how we can all help protect and preserve our most precious resource: water.
This enriching and family-friendly outing is perfect for curious young minds and ocean lovers alike. Whether you’re watching sea otters play or learning how jellyfish move, the Aquarium of the Pacific offers hands-on discovery and unforgettable experiences.
