Aquarium of the Bay

After learning about the ecosystems that make up the bay you can walk through two glass tunnels while surrounded by more than 20,000 marine animals, including sharks, rays, giant octopuses and hundreds of starfish.

Something Special

At the end of the visit, there is a more educational area, where you have the opportunity to touch sharks, rays, and other animals from the bay.

A Classic

The Aquarium of the Bay is located in a privileged location in the Fisherman's Wharf and is a great visit especially for families with children, although when compared with the California Academy of Sciences, this aquarium is a little small and old-fashioned. Another benefit to the Aquarium of the Bay is that its staff are known for being friendly and knowledgeable, and they're always on hand to teach you something new.
