Ocean World 304 U.S. 101, Crescent City, CA 95531

"A quaint little aquarium experience. They have a four part tour: the first part includes a photo opportunity and a touch and feel tide pool experience. The second part includes a walk downstairs ( there is not an elevator) to the underground aquarium viewing experience. Then, back upstairs to the shark petting portion with another photo opportunity. Last, we walk outside to a covered walkway surrounding a pool where the seals and sea lions give a spectacular performance. All in all, the tour was about 45 minutes. It begins and ends in their gift shop, which is full of fun treasures."

"It's a nice little tour through the aquarium and the seal show is terrific. My kids absolutely love it. The gift shop is full of trinkets. The only things I wish could be different is that there is no reasonable access to physically disabled people. They do offer a screen to watch the tour from upstairs but it's not the same as in person. Also they kind of rush you through a little too quick. It would be great to have more free access to enjoy just watching the fish and seal lions at leisure. Admission price isn't bad at all though, so it's worth it as long as you're able to walk down fairly steep stairs. There are ample photo ops throughout the whole aquarium. You also get to pet a shark."

"At this time of year, we had our own private tour of the aquarium, including seal & sea lion show. And you get to pat a shark. Fantastic! Best little aquarium in the state."

"Let me tell you, the staff at Ocean World were simply amazing! They were so knowledgeable and eager to share their expertise with us. We decided to take the guided tour, and let me tell you, it is an absolute must-do! It was beyond incredible. We had the chance to pet starfish, play with sea urchins, and can you believe it, we even had the opportunity to pet sharks! It was such an exhilarating experience. The entire place was filled with plenty of photo-worthy moments, and we made sure to capture every single one. The gift shop was also great, offering a wide range of souvenirs and memorabilia. What really impressed us was how friendly and welcoming everyone was. The atmosphere was so enjoyable, and the facility itself was spotlessly clean. Finding Ocean World was a breeze, as it's conveniently located just off the main road. Trust me, it's a must-visit when you're in Crescent City."

"We were in town and had some time to kill. Seemed like a cool place to check out. For its size (small) the exhibits aren’t that bad. The price was reasonable and if you have small children I’m sure they will enjoy it."
