I was not impressed with this aquarium at all, the crowds were out of control. It was difficult to see the fish because of the unruly crowds and kids running every where. The fish were not very impressive. Most were fish you can see at one of those aquariums you see in a chinese restaurant. Save your money. more

We had a great time . Great for small kids! Go early beat the crowds more

Will definitely return the next time we are in LA - the kids loved it and there are a ton of nearby restaurants and things to do. We ended up doing a trip around the harbor as well on a boat tour available nearby. more

Everyone says it's crowded with school kids, so we waited until spring vacation. It was OK in the morning, but roving children had no sense of shared space. It was like a kaleidoscope of bright t-shirts and iridescent fish tanks. My daughter's baby stroller, my 3-year-old grandson, and little old me were all intercepted at different locations by eager --... more

This place is okay for kids, but pretty boring for the adults. It's very crowed and loud. Parking is only $6, but I think it should be free. The food is way overpriced.

The BAD: There is not much info on the fish as far as what kind of place they are from, what they do, what they eat, and any interesting facts about them are very limited. The fish... more

I am never going back there. They were packing people in to the place; it was dangerously full to begin with. I saw a rated capacity for one area of 115 people. It had to have 300 people in that area, and the whole place was like that. God forbid they ever have a fire or earthquake, there will be... more

Visited the Aquarium of the Pacific in December with visiting family members. Everyone enjoyed the experience. Lots of hands on activities for the children and adults, and there were some shows to watch. The place is smaller than I thought it would be, but still nice. They have a restaurant on the location, and an excellent gift shop. We found... more

Not a huge aquarium but it's nicely laid out and a blast for kids. If you want to see some fish but don't want to do a whole day at Sea World this is a good place. No big whales or sharks but lots of neat smaller species. Get there early and you'll avoid the crowds. more
