San Francisco: VIP Experience at Aquarium of the Bay

About
If you’re going to San Francisco, you just can’t miss the Aquarium of the Bay. Located at Pier 39, this amazing aquarium is home to 20,000 local sea creatures ready for seeing and even touching. With a 300-foot underwater tunnel, nature talks, and thousands of sea creatures, this is an amazing - and interactive - way to get to know the waters that surround this city.
Step into the underwater world of San Francisco Bay. The actual water of the bay is renowned for being freezing cold and having treacherous currents (part of what made Alcatraz such a formidable prison). But thankfully, the Aquarium of the Bay lets you see thousands of fish, sharks, mammals and more, without needing to get wet.
With naturalist talks and feedings, hands-on experiments and more, a visit under the sea at the Aquarium of the Bay is a great activity for curious minds (and anyone who wants to brag about having touched a live shark!).
