Cute but not up to the standards of others we have visited. Few fish and very short tour. The only very nice thing was being able to play and touch the stingrays in a tank specially adapted for this. For the rest, I wouldn't recommend purchasing the $35 ticket per person, it's not worth it!

I rate it a 3/5 it was cool but the tickets are overpriced, it was a quick & fast experience. Not too many sea animals to see.

I liked being able to touch the stingray! It was nice walking through the water tunnel
Learning about the different kinds of fish and sharks was pretty cool

Not as good as we expected. Only small - we’d done it all in 45 minutes. Augmented reality section shut. Not many different species. I heard one mum ask if they had an octopus as her son loved them and they’d come to see one but they didn’t have any despite having a large painting mural of an octopus outside! Have other things like a squirrel, snakes, tortoises which have nothing to do with aquariums. We paid £106 for a family of 4. Waste of money and would not recommend.

A small attraction but enjoyable, it felt like a break from the crowds at Pier 39. The otters were amazing and a family favorite.

A fun, clever, informative experience that we would gladly do again. The walk through tunnel was an incredible immersive adventure!

The building looks big. But the whole aquarium is essentially 2 rooms. It took us about 20 minutes to look at it all.
Purchased tickets outside and then when we got in we found out the otters weren’t even available for the rest of the day.
Very underwhelming and disappointing.

A nice little aquarium at pier 39. It is quite small as they go and we only took an hour. Exhibits are very good with a great jelly fish exhibit and a fish tunnel.
Personally I think it was a little expensive for what it was but the atmosphere was very good and it is in pier 39. may be quite expensive for a family but there were only two of us. If you are strapped for time or cash I would recommend the aquarium at the California Academy of Sciences.

Very small but worth the experience very nice and clean and some employees are very attentive. Would do it again if we had more time

I really enjoyed my experience and loved the hands-on touching exhibits. I got to touch a sting-ray and it was so velvety. You do have to stick your arm deep so roll up your sleeves. The tunnel was excellent as well. There are 2 floors and you have to use the elevators - they are a bit slow. The otters were very cute. There are exhibits of about 12 different kinds of jellyfish and fascinating. The price at $33 was quite steep for only about an hour experience, but everything in the area is overpriced.
