The architectural style of the Aquarium of the Pacific is designed to mimic the lofty waves of the ocean that inspired the facility's galleries and exhibits. Welcoming nearly 1.4 million visitors each year, the aquarium is the largest facility of its kind in Southern California and the third largest cultural attraction in the Los Angeles area. The interactive displays and exhibits create an exciting, entertaining and educational experience for the entire family.

The Southern California and Baja Gallery features the aquatic plants and animals that inhabit the waters off the west coast of the United States and Mexico, such as the Garibaldi, Mexican lookdowns and Cortez rainbow wrasse. The Tropical Pacific Gallery highlights the colorful menagerie of sea creatures that roam the reefs and warm waters near Micronesia in the Western Pacific like weedy sea dragons, big-belly seahorses and blacktip reef sharks. The Northern Pacific Gallery provides insight into the marine life that survives and thrives in the cold waters of the Bering Sea. The fascinating inhabitants include the giant Pacific octopus, sea otters and diving birds, such as the puffin and auklet.

The June Keyes Penguin Habitat features a space that visitors can crawl inside for an up-close look at these amazing creatures. Outside exhibits include Shark Lagoon and the walk through Lorikeet Forest Aviary. The lagoon includes a shallow water touch tank housing Bamboo and epaulette sharks. The "Our Watersheds: Pathway to the Pacific" exhibit enlightens guests about the San Pedro Bay Drainage Basin and the conservation efforts designed to protect it. In conjunction with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Aquarium's Ocean Science Center explores ocean phenomena, marine conservation and maritime trade.
