Overcast (53 oF • 12 oC)Aquarium of the Bay
Visit San Francisco’s only aquarium dedicated to the marine animals that live in San Francisco Bay and nearby waters. Walk through 300 ft. of crystal clear tunnels filled with sharks, rays and more than 20,000 other denizens of the deep—it’s like skin diving without getting wet. Daily live animal encounters invite visitors to touch sharks, rays, sea stars and land animals like blue tongued skinks. Special exhibits also include the mesmerizing world of Moon Jellies and Pacific Sea Nettles; a grotto-style exhibit with Dungeness Crabs, Spot Prawns, Deep Sea Isopod and others; and PG&E Bay Lab, an interactive climate change exhibit. Every day is filled with exciting special events, including behind the scenes tours, animal feedings and presentations.
