I went to this aquarium because I had a mandatory assignment to go there for my Marine Biology class. That being said, both my boyfriend and I had a great time! It was much less crowded than the Long Beach aquarium, and the marine life was much more diverse. Coming from LA, it probably isn't somewhere I would go all... More

I visited the Aquarium today. As I walk my bike (NOT RIDING) toward the information booth, the 1st thing that I was greeted by a nasty and mean grumpy old me. He start to yell at me that I should not have my bike with me in the patio (but there was no sign any where that bike is not... More

Right at our feet were octopus, squid, crabs, sea... More

In addition to their display space, they are also a working research facility (and you can tour those areas as well!) This impresses the heck out of me, in a... More

I really like the Cabrillo Aquarium. It's small and easily accessable. They are doubling the size though, so it should be a lot better. While it doesn't have the pizazz of the Old Marineland or the San Diego Aquarium - In my opinion it's MUCH more interesting. They have numerous displays - that you can get to UP close. I... More
