The Aquarium of the Pacific is the best place in Long Beach; it’s educational, fun, and entertaining. The Aquarium is educational for the following reasons; first, it features a collection of over eleven thousand animals, representing five-hundred different sea species. Secondly, these species range from the porcupine fish, giant octopus, and puffins, to the jellyfish, spider crabs, and so much more! For each of these different species, you will learn about their habitats, eating habits, and their mating rituals. The Aquarium also offers “Teacher, family, and student days”.

This is due to the many performances of the aquatic animals such as, the seals and otters. During their performances, you get to see them doing all types of tricks. From dolphins leaping out of the water playing games, to sea otters doing summersaults in mid-air; while the seals are hitting balls with their mouths, and applauding the audience.
