Aquarium of the Bay: Admission

If you visit San Francisco, you cannot miss the Aquarium of the Bay, located at the famous Pier 39. This aquarium houses about 20,000 local marine species and offers a unique interactive experience, with the possibility of observing them up close and even touching them. Its spectacular 91-meter underwater tunnel, along with lectures given by naturalists, allows you to learn in depth about the marine life of the bay. Enter the underwater world of San Francisco Bay, known for its cold waters and strong currents, which once made Alcatraz an almost impregnable prison. Fortunately, here you can see fish, sharks and marine mammals without getting wet. The aquarium is divided into three main zones: Discover the Bay, dedicated to local ecosystems; Under the Bay, the largest, with the underwater tunnel and thousands of animals; and Touch the Bay, where visitors of all ages can touch starfish, rays and even sharks. Educational talks, feeding sessions and hands-on activities make this visit an educational and fun experience for everyone.
