Our Zoo and Aquarium Expert Says:
Be transported along a moving footpath through two crystal clear 300-foot tunnels with transparent windows into the Bay. You'll see all kinds of marine and plant life in this small but charming aquarium. Discover the marine life that inhabits the Bay itself and also the deep waters off of California. Expect to see giant Pacific octopus, angel charks, and bat rays. Once the kids are tired of looking they can start touching, the aquarium has a series of amazing touch pools where it's possible to come in contact with live bat rays, leopard sharks, and others.
Open 9 am to 8 pm. $$ (Moderately Priced)
