Start at 9:15 am for a small-group Aquarium of the Bay tour before the public arrives. An expert guide such as Connor Price, Mayra, or Claire leads you through the exhibits, explains animal care, answers questions, and finishes with a river otter training video.
“Granted the aquarium is small, but they have done an amazing job with the exhibits they have. The two tunnels are well worth the visit alone. The number of rays and sharks are impressive. Our guide Conner was knowledgeable, relatable and made the excursion very enjoyable. Definitely a must done if you are in the area.”
