(2) Tickets - Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA

Spend your day at the Aquarium: A not-to-be-missed Long Beach experience! Frommer's Travel Guide hails: "This enormous aquarium -- one of the largest in the U.S. -- is the cornerstone of Long Beach's ever-changing waterfront. The vast facility -- it has enough exhibit space to fill three football fields -- re-creates three areas of the Pacific: the warm Baja and Southern California regions, the Bering Sea and chilly northern Pacific, and faraway tropical climes, including impressive re-creations of a lagoon and barrier reef. The aquarium houses more than 11,000 creatures in all, from 150 sharks (some you can touch) prowling a 90,000-gallon habitat to delicate sea horses, moon jellies, and gaggles of tropical birds within the Lorikeet Forest. Learn little-known aquatic facts at the many educational exhibits, or come nose-to-nose with sea lions, moray eels, and other inhabitants of giant tanks, up to nearly three stories high."
