Have Fun and Learn at the Aquarium of the Pacific
Our family trip to the Aquarium of the Pacific was very fun and educational and the kids were entertained throughout the entire day. Located in beautiful Downtown Long Beach, the aquarium is centrally located and adjacent to other family activities, restaurants and shops. Below are the photos from our family day at the aquarium.
