Aquarium of the Pacific

Aquarium of the Pacific explores the remarkable diversity of the Pacific Ocean through exhibits organized around the ocean's major regions, including Southern California and Baja, the Tropical Pacific, and the Northern Pacific. This geographic approach gives visitors a clear sense of how marine life changes across different environments while showcasing one of the world's largest and most diverse ocean basins. Conservation, scientific research, and public education are woven throughout the experience, reinforcing the importance of protecting marine ecosystems without overshadowing the animals themselves.

Visitors can observe sharks, sea otters, sea jellies, penguins, sea turtles, colorful reef fish, and many other marine species in habitats ranging from kelp forests to tropical coral reefs. Large viewing windows, touch experiences, and immersive galleries encourage guests to spend time exploring the relationships between species and their environments. The combination of regional storytelling, diverse aquatic wildlife, and thoughtfully designed exhibits makes Aquarium of the Pacific especially rewarding for travelers interested in the ecology and marine life of the Pacific Ocean.
