The Aquarium of the Bay was honestly one of the most boring places I've ever visited. There just wasn't anything much to look at, and the staff all seemed bored. Except for the girls who looked after the elevator, who seemed to be in denial about their place of work. Nobody gets that excited about some half-dead rays and boring... more

This was such a fun and good exeperience. Well priced and excellent. We heard a hands on talk about Sharks and heard so many interesting things. All the tanks were full of very interesting fish. Walking under the fish was the highlight of the Aquarium. It was cool to see the sharks swimming over us. My daughter and I touched... more

The building that houses the aquarium does not seem very large compared to other aquariums I've been to so I went here expecting a pretty boring experience. I was totally wrong though and ended up enjoying the aquarium very much. More importantly, my 2yr old had a great time. There a few tanks with fish and jellies, but these are... more

The highlight of this is the moving walkway which shows all the fish in its splendour but otherwise there isnt a great deal. The california academy of sciences has an aqauarium which has lot more exhibits but no walkway. Depends on what you want really. For me the bay aquarium was a bit of a disappointment. more

I went to San Fran with family, everyone was 20 years old and up. We made a trip to the aquarium and everyone loved it! We used our AAA card and recieved a discount (I think we paid $13 a person). It is small, there are only 2 large tanks, but there are also many small tanks and you'll be... more

For the amount i cost to for admission, I was expecting something pretty amazing but boy, was I disappointed. We were in and out within an hour and the number of exhibits was pretty poor. However, it wasn't all bad...the octopus was pretty cool and if you get the chance be sure to touch the baby shark and mantaray upstairs.... more

My three year old son did enjoy himself very much on this quick little jaunt into the lives of fish. However, the rest of my family was slightly disillusioned with the small number of exhibits and the short amount of time it took to actually view the sealife here. Believe me we went as slow as possible and stopped to... more

The aquarium is located in the high-traffic Pier 39 area, so it's convenient for most tourists to swing by for an hour or two. It's a good, family-friendly activity that I'm sure the kiddies will enjoy. Honestly, there are better places out there for this type of thing, but this one's convenient and free if you have the Go SF... more

We were very disappointed in the Aquarium. A lot of it was under construction, and it was over so quickly we couldn't believe that was it!! My kids joked that they saw more fish at their dentists office at home. Sure, there were some pretty fish and a few sharks, but overall I would not recommend this attraction if you... more
