Reviews
"The aquarium is mesmerizing. I enjoyed watching the jellies on display. The pathways and ecosystems are worth visiting."
"Beautiful, fun, educational, busy to the point of uncomfortable of too many people. Still I want to return and learn more. Be prepared to spend hours and some lines inside are longer than others. Humidity was stiffiling at times. Lots of rude entitled visit. Crazy amount and loved seeing the multi-generational families pushing strollers full of kids. Unfortunately, this created many other hazardous conditions with other ages of young children running without supervision. A small boxed water expensive. Food expensive, But other gift shop items very reasonable and affordable."
"What a great experience! Academy of Sciences and Steinhart Aquarium, a wonderful scientific show. Lunch and snacks can be purchased there as well as parking. A day well spent."
"Great place to visit. The California of Science Academy has so much to do and you are able to see everything in one visit. The aquarium was lovely, but is small. The rainforest exhibit was beautiful. Also they have a botanical garden, where you can do a picnic. Overall experience was amazing!"
"I was wondering why the ticket prices were so high for this aquarium, but after my visit, I understood why. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. There is so much to see and experience! It's more than just an aquarium. There are other types of well executed exhibits as well. I was there for almost 2 hours, and there was still more I didn't get a chance to see."
