With dazzling displays and a wide variety of wild life, who wouldn't enjoy their time at the Aquarium of the Pacific? For many films like Finding Nemo are the only glimpse that they've had into the underwater world. The Aquarium of the Pacific delves into that world, giving anyone who enters a comprehensive (and obviously condensed) look at the many different habitats that can be found throughout the vast Pacific Ocean. Even for those who are huge animal or aquatic fans, this place is definitely a great place to visit. The displays are such that they are engaging and easy to get to; with shows going on throughout the day, there is sure to be something that will capture your interest. The aquarium also offers great exhibits where, should you chose to, you are able to touch some marine life; these exhibits include moon jellies, sharks, rays, and starfish and anemones. While it is a place that attracts a lot of families, it's also a great educational date. See who can find the oddest fact, be the bravest while touching all the animals, or get all of the stamps for the stamp book included on the map. The aquarium also has several eating options ranging from smoothies and ice cream to full meals. Food brought from home is also allowed, just look for the open terraces to eat on (coincidentally they are great places to eat no matter if you brought or bought your food, most people stick to the indoor eating areas, leaving these areas mostly uncrowded). Also make sure that you validate your parking on your way in or out, without doing so you  will pay a pretty penny for the nearby structures! With all the beauty and knowledge that the Aquarium of the Pacific has to offer, it is certainly not a date to be missed!
