This is a nice little gift shop to visit after you go to the aquarium. You can pick up little gifts of the fish you just saw. Spend some time looking around I am sure you will find something to take home.

I was not impressed with this aquarium. Not very big. The kids were even kind of bored with it. It is a major attraction in the city but I would not recommend it.

Although small in size, this attraction in San Francisco packs a wallup. This is the first aquarium we went to where you walk through a tube surrounded by the tank. It is the strangest feeling to see the fish almost completely around you. A bit pricey but worth it for one trip. They also have some good historical snipits.

My kid loves to walk through the tunnel surrounded by all the sea creatures. Though it is not as big as the Monterey Bay Aquariam,it is very well maintained and is very educational. We love going there.

The Aquarium of the Bay is okay. I went there a couple of times with my family while we were visiting Pier 39. It pales in comparison to the Monterey Bay Aquarium but it does have its merits. It has a great view of the San Francisco Bays sea life as you ride on this moving thing on the floor that takes you across to the other side. Youll see sharks, starfish, jellyfish and more. Its probably a good for 15-20 minutes of your time..
