$40 for parking anywhere nearby. Wow.

Tunnels under the water, you might get a little sea sick. Interesting short jaunt.

It's great. Especially for fish :-)

Not worth it. The California Academy of Sciences at Golden Gate Park offers a similar aquarium along with way more stuff (rainforest, ostriches, planetarium). Go there instead.
Victoria U.October 2, 2016
A little touristy but not the worst. Touch tanks are the best part.

Pet the cute leopard shark... He won't bite :)

TiziaDecember 5, 2011
Overpriced. Tiny space - 10 minute walk through.

Tyra LarsonJune 16, 2013
Not worth the $18

Kim NJune 22, 2010
Tourist trap. Monterey Bay Aquarium is better.
Leonardo RodriguezNovember 5, 2015
El lugar es pequeño pero bonito, viene incluido en el San Francisco City Pass, si vas con poco presupuesto puedes prescindir de el, no te pierdes de mucho!
Julieta CabaleiroJanuary 18, 2018
Adore el tubo! Re vale la pena visitarlo!!!
Jorge PadillaSeptember 8, 2015
He estado en mejores acuarios yo este lo visite porque ya viene incluido en el city pass si es bonito pero es chiquito no creo deba de venir incluido con el pase y si se paga por aparte es muy caro
Emilie VandermeirenMarch 29, 2022
On ne s’attendait pas à grand chose mais bien sympathique ce petit aquarium. La visite n’est pas très longue et on se passerait des loutres qui ont l’air mal…
Luis ShimabukuroAugust 25, 2014
O aquário é pequeno, mas se comprar um city pass esse lugar fica incluso.
