Explore the Aquarium
On World Ocean Day, we're opening our doors for something truly unique. With this one-night-only event, you'll have the chance to explore the largest aquarium in Southern California as part of an exclusive group of attendees. Wind your way through 100 exhibits and more than 12,000 animals that showcase the beauty of the Pacific Ocean. You'll never see the Aquarium of the Pacific like this again, so don't miss your chance to celebrate World Ocean Day and support our conservation efforts.
Live Music & Dancing
Hit the dance floor in the magical Honda Blue Cavern, a three-story-tall kelp forest that's home to magical local species like giant sea bass and spiny lobsters. There's never been a more scenic spot to dance the night away than this unique exhibit, against a backdrop inspired by the underwater beauty of Southern California.
Sips and Bites
What’s a night out without delicious food and decadent drinks? Stroll the Aquarium, hit the dance floor, and enjoy unlimited beer and wine from our conveniently located bars, plus a variety of tasty small plates.
Exclusive Animal Experiences
This is your chance to get up close and personal with what inspires us: the care and conservation of our marine habitats. First, join us for the world premier of a new documentary film about our work at the Honda Pacific Visions Theater. Then, as you explore our exhibits, meet our conservation staff who work tirelessly to protect the animals in our care. You might even have the chance to meet a few of our resident animal friends! You'll come away from your night at Bio Ball with a firsthand look at the importance of marine species to our world.
