Birch aquarium is a gem of san diego, this place has amazing exhibits of fish, it's very clean, people who work there are great, and not too crowded during the week, and not too crowded on weekends depending on the month you go. Theres always something new to see every time and outside there are gorgeous views of the ocean. This is a great place for the family! I would buy again in a heartbeat!

Small Aquarium wasn’t really what we expected, My Two-year-old had a blast playing in the play area.

Birch Aquarium is a wonderful experience for both children and adults. The outside tide pools are the icing on the cake.

It was a great experience for my 7 year old. It’s small, but has a great view.

Very cool! I learned so much about our water life and it was interesting looking at all the different types of fish that live in our ocean

Beautiful place. Perfect for our 3 and 5 year old grandkids. The aquarium and the science exhibits were really nice and informative. The tide pools had a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean and a place to watch for whales. The volunteers were helpful and nice.
