Great little aquarium right on Pier 39. Its definately smaller than the aquarium at the acadamy of sciences, but its worth a visit (its part of the citipass scheme). The jellyfish are cool!

I liked the aquarium as it offered wide variety of species - different fish, sharks, jelly-fish, etc. Great tunnel with all the sharks and stingrays swimming around. I especially liked the part where you can touch the starfish, baby-stingrays and sharks. The staff was very attentive, and caring about the fish. Also liked the fact that there is some important...

The tunnel on the lower level was very impressive - you could see lots of species up close. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. A little pricey for the experience.

Our tickets were included in our San Francisco City Pass. Having lived by the UK Coast and having visited aquariums in the past, overall we were impressed. The Aquarium is geared up for families but suited for adults if you like the sea. The Bay area is vulnerable to pollution and there are good learning stations for locals. If you... More

The highlight was the touch pool where I got to touch a baby shark, and a baby stingray! That was amazing. The stingray was surprisingly slimy, but seemed to enjoy a scratch on his wing (the only...

If you want to take your kids to have some quick fun this is the place. My son is 3 and was in love with the place. He loved looking at the fish and certainly enjoyed touching them! Quick trip maybe an hour or less 3 floors and great personel. We had a good time enjoyed seeing a smile on... More

Very expensive to get into, and very little content. You couldn't wander at your leisure, they actually took you up and down to different levels of the building so you couldn't go back and see something again. The curved tunnel was tough to look through as it gave me some serious "walleye vision". Go to the conservatory if you want... More
