Celebrate Valentine’s Day with someone special or the whole family at the Aquarium of the Pacific.
The Aquarium will be open until 9:00 p.m. on Valentine’s Day and will feature a unique, one-stop Valentine’s Day experience. Admission after 5:00 p.m. is just $14.95. Explore the Aquarium at night with its elegant lighting and the opportunity to see the nighttime activities of the animals. Exhibits will be open for viewing, except Lorikeet Forest.
Cash bars will open at 6:30 p.m.
The Pacific Collections gift store will be featuring a selection of plush baby seals, polar bears, penguins, and other stuffed animals and jewelry for that perfect gift.
Vow Renewal
Penguins often find that special someone and make a life-long commitment. Renew your commitment to your loved one on Valentine’s Day alongside Noodles & Patsy, our very own penguin couple! The brief ceremony will be led by Curator of Mammals and Birds Dudley Wigdahl. Each participating couple will receive a vow renewal certificate signed by Wigdahl and our penguins to commemorate the occasion. This vow renewal ceremony is open to those who have Valentine’s Day Dinner reservations at the Aquarium.
Valentine’s Dinner
Enjoy an amazing selection of gourmet delights! For an additional charge, enjoy a multi-course, gourmet dinner. Advance dinner reservations are highly recommended as this event sells out early.
