Mission

Opened in 1998, the Aquarium of the Pacific is one of the largest aquariums in the United States. Its more than 500 species fill 19 major habitats and 32 focus exhibits and take visitors on a journey throughout the Pacific Ocean's three regions: Southern California/Baja, the Tropical Pacific, and the Northern Pacific. The Aquarium is located on a five-acre site on Rainbow Harbor in Long Beach, California. Three football fields could fit into the Aquarium's expansive, three-story 156,735 square feet facility. More than 12,500 ocean animals, representing over 500 species, reside in the Aquarium. Exhibits range in size and capacity from about 5,000 to 350,000 gallons. Inspired by the towering, breaking waves of the Pacific, the Aquarium's breathtaking architecture mirrors the fluid and dynamic temper of the ocean.
