Best Tourist Attraction
Aquarium of the Pacific
They not only rescue baby otter pups that will make even your worst day better, but they house a beautiful host of marine and aquatic life that are sure to impress your out-of-town family, adults and kids alike. Representing the planet’s largest and most diverse body of water, the Aquarium’s exhibits feature 19 major habitats—like the June Keyes Penguin Habitat—and 32 focus exhibits that house some 11,000 animals across 500 different species. Even better, the Aquarium is not just there for visitors to goggle at captive creatures—far from it. The Aquarium is one of the state’s leading conservationists, harboring environmental ethics that few can stand up to. Now that’s a Long Beach attraction worth showing off!
Aquarium of the Pacific is located at 100 Aquarium Way, (562) 590-3100, aquariumofthepacific.org
