Several saltwater aquariums display Southern California sea creatures, including sharks, eels, octopi and crabs as they would appear in nature. Visitors can touch live animals in the tide pool “touch tank” (photo) and learn about the marine environment from modern, interactive exhibits, daily slide presentations and special events. Various weekend walks and children’s programs are available.
Cabrillo Marine Aquarium is excited to announce a major renovation of our Life Support System.
During construction, the main exhibit hall will temporarily be closed. However, the aquarium will remain open and continue to offer a variety of enriching activities.
The aquarium is an educational and research facility which provides rich and varied opportunities to see and learn about the fascinating marine environment of southern California.
