Aquarium of the Bay (solo trip)

We went when they open on a weekday and had the entire place to ourselves. We loved the fish and shark tunnels, especially seeing the stingrays. The otters and jellyfish were lovely too. The only criticism I have is take several pictures in the beginning versus one, as the option we had wasn’t a great photo of either of us, so we weren’t interested in purchasing any of the nice options available a...

Small bit nice aquarium with two large tanks you take tunnels through. Nice jellyfish and otter section as well. A couple of hands on pools. At less than half the price of the Monterey aquarium I can see aquarium of the bay becoming more popular.

This was a great spot to visit while in San Francisco. We had seen the videos online of the friendly stingrays and it was one of the major draws.

If u like aquariums, this one’s def worth a visit. Can easily spend an hour or more here. They click ur pic at the start n add fun effects so u can grab it as a souvenir later. U even get to touch baby rays n sharks—kinda cool. The underwater tunnel’s the best part, feels like walking through the ocean. Sharks n jellyfish steal the show. Fun n chill spot to check out.
