Great Exhibits though some of the tanks look like they could use some TLC.

The fish on the ground floor seemed listless and unhappy. It was very crowded and very small.

Only giving it a two star due to size. Beautiful, clean aquarium but very limited exhibits. Only 4 rooms of animals. I was highly disappointed after buying 4 annual passes for myself and friends at the going rate. Imo, they should definitely lower rates for the lack of versatility. Still had fun, but just a day trip..like a single day...and then never again.....

Everyone was friendly and helpful. Only bonus would be if it was a little bigger, but was perfect since we were short on time.

Disappointing for the price. Very few exhibits. Went through in 45 minutes. Gift shop understocked

Staff were nice and knowledgeable. It's a small aquarium so great for my younger son since he doesn't have much of an attention span. Definitely will come back for a visit.

Discover the Bay introduces guests to eight animal habitats and over a thousand species local to the Bay Area
Under the Bay allows guests to experience what it is like under the bay as they walk through two large tunnels featuring giant seabass, swirling schools of anchovies, and multiple species of sharks, including the Bay’s largest predator – the sevengill shark
Touch the Bay with touchpools is an adventure which offers a tactile interaction with sharks, rays, skates, and sea stars
Otters: Watershed Ambassadors provides a look into river otters' daily activities, such as playing, swimming, romping, and rolling.
