Aquarium of the Pacific
- Attraction
- Regional draw
- Long Beach
At Long Beach's Rainbow Harbor, Aquarium of the Pacific offers a focused encounter with aquatic environments around the Pacific Ocean. Its waterfront location makes it easy to combine a dedicated aquarium visit with time exploring the surrounding harbour area.
Plan the aquarium as a substantial visit rather than a quick waterfront stop. Review current admission arrangements and exhibit notices, and check separately for any additional experiences that interest you or your travelling group.
