We are located half a mile from the Transit Mall in downtown Long Beach which makes for a 10 minute downhill walk to the Aquarium from the Blue line and major bus lines.

Walking directions from the Transit Mall at Pine and 1st Street:

  • Head South on Pine Ave. (towards the water)
  • Turn right at The Paseo
  • Turn left at Aquarium Way

Alternatively, you may take the Long Beach Transit’s Passport C, a shuttle that services downtown Long Beach, the Aquarium of the Pacific, and the Queen Mary. You may take it at the Northeast corner of Pine and Ocean Blvd with 8-10 minute wait (less on Fridays and Saturdays). For a detailed schedule, click here to be taken to the Long Beach Transit site.
