Editor's Pick: The Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach is one of the largest aquariums on the U.S. West Coast and a popular destination for families and tourists in California. It showcases over 12,000 marine animals spanning more than 500 species, highlighting three major Pacific Ocean regions—Southern California/Baja, the Tropical Pacific, and the Northern Pacific.
Visitors can see giant Pacific octopuses, sea lions, penguins, tropical fish schools, and coral reef ecosystems. There are also touch pools where you can feel the texture of sharks, rays, or starfish—perfect for family experiences. The aquarium features large outdoor exhibition areas where you can observe sea otters, nautiluses, and other adorable animals up close.
In addition to permanent exhibits, the Aquarium of the Pacific regularly hosts special exhibitions, science education activities, and festivals, allowing visitors to learn about ocean conservation while being entertained. It's not just a tourist attraction but also an important center promoting environmental protection and marine conservation.
