Dancing underwater for New Year’s Eve?
OK–not exactly.
But Aquarium of the Pacific’s New Year’s Eve Presented by Night Dive is going to make it seem that way.
Year-round, Long Beach’s Aquarium of the Pacific offers special events.
For New Year’s Eve, the party starts at 8:00 pm.

DJs will spin in the galleries, a live band is playing in the Great Hall, a roaming photo booth will allow guests to capture memorable moments, and attendees are invited to showcase their karaoke skills.
All exhibits and galleries will be open, as well, with the exception of Lorikeet Forest, Penguins and Shorebirds.
Then, at midnight, there’s the countdown–and confetti cannons will welcome 2024.
