Description:

Immerse yourself in San Francisco’s underwater world at the Aquarium of the Bay as you explore the local marine creatures and native aquatic animals that live in the waters off the California Coast.

Begin in the Discover the Bay exhibit, where you can check out tanks displaying some of the aquarium's 20,000 animals. Watch for elusive moray eels, unusual Bay pipefish and colorful orange Garibaldi, the state fish of California.

Next, step into deep water at the Under the Bay exhibit, walking through 300 feet (91 m) of aquatic tunnels for an up-close look at what life really looks like in the San Francisco Bay—700,000 gallons (2,650 l) of real Bay water fill these tanks. Check out a roiling red giant Pacific octopus, fearsome sevengill sharks and teeming schools of anchovies flitting through the water.

Finally, get your hands wet at the Touch the Bay exhibit, where you can reach into tide pools teeming with bat rays, skates, leopard sharks, sea stars and sea cucumbers. Before you leave, stand before the illuminated moon jelly fish wall—these mesmerizing creatures dance through the water as the shifting lights change their color from red to blue and back again.

As you check out this amazing wealth of native, local sea life, learn about ongoing conservation and coastal clean-up efforts from the naturalist guides on hand throughout the aquarium.
