Aquarium of the Bay

PIER 39 The Embarcadero & Beach St.
San Francisco CA 94133

TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

San Francisco's only waterfront aquarium is conveniently located next to Pier 39. Walk through 300 ft. of crystal clear tunnels filled with sharks, rays and more than 20,000 other marine animals from the Bay and nearby waters - it's like skin diving without getting wet. Daily hands-on animal encounters, feedings, behind the scenes tours and more. Other special exhibits include the mesmerizing world of jellies, a grotto-like exhibit featuring Dungeness Crabs and a Deep Sea Isopod and an interactive climate change exhibit.
