Now that fall is here, you can visit the Aquarium to see your favorite animals and enjoy the fun of the season.

Calling all early birds! If you are up and at ‘em early, then keep an eye out for early hours on select weekends in October. You’ll love the opportunity to enjoy the solace of a crowd-free Aquarium.

Not a morning person but want another way to upgrade your visit? Check out the new VIP ticket package which includes an admission ticket with no advanced reservations required and other cool perks. Not to mention, you’ll also receive a cool VIP badge and keepsake lanyard!

Once you are here, be sure to check the daily showtimes for the Wings of the Pacific show in the Pacific Visions Theater! It’s the Aquarium’s only free-flighted bird show where our feathered residents soar onto stage.

Of course, there is lots of seasonal fun in store. Get the entire family dressed in costumes for Scarium Family Night on October 17 to enjoy fun activities like a vampire magician show, dancing to our DJ’s tunes, and the annual costume contest for kids.

Plus, it’s never too early to make plans for the holidays! Take a pic with Surfer Santa and enjoy holiday cheer during Aquarium Holidays (December 7-22) or countdown the new year on December 31 at New Year’s Eve presented by Night Dive.

There’s always lots of events happening at and around the Aquarium. Check out the event calendar for cultural festivals, Autism Families Morning, First Wednesdays lecture series, and more.
