Beginning Friday, July 3, through Friday, July 24, the Aquarium of the Pacific will be open with outdoor exhibits only in accordance with state health orders. Those exhibits include the Harbor Terrace (featuring the Moon Jelly Touch Lab and archerfish and mudskipper exhibits), Shark Lagoon (including touch pools), Lorikeet Forest, the Our Water Future exhibit, Southern California Steelhead Story, Molina Animal Care Center, June Keyes Penguin Habitat, the Ray Touch Pool (open for touch), and the Seals and Sea Lions Habitat. The outdoor gift store and some food service will be open. Indoor areas will be temporarily closed.
During this period, admission will be reduced to $12 per person, and coupons will not be accepted. Those who have already purchased tickets to visit during this period may come at their reserved time and they will receive an additional ticket to return once the entire Aquarium is open, or visit the website or call (562) 590-3100 to reserve a new time.
Keeping our guests and staff safe is our top priority. The Aquarium is limiting the number of visitors, requiring advance timed reservations, managing traffic flow to ensure social distancing, requiring face coverings for everyone age 2 and older and temperature checks for everyone, providing numerous hand-sanitizing stations, sanitizing surfaces constantly, and much more. Please visit our Aquarium Safety page for full details before visiting.
