And as the otters are chewing on their candy-cane-shaped lobster treats, Aquarium visitors can play in the snow (yes, there will be snow falling in the Great Hall!), enjoy Christmas music, crafts, photo opportunities, shopping, special presentations and more. The “Holiday Treats” special event is included with general admission, and free to Aquarium members.
OK, that takes care of the penguins, birds, and various marine creatures. Now–if the Aquarium could just offer a few gift ideas for Great-Aunt Susie!
The Aquarium of the Pacific is located at 100 Aquarium Way, near Queensway and West Shoreline Drive, in Long Beach. Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., every day of the year except Christmas and the April Grand Prix dates, and their website offers a map function with directions and parking information.
