Kids will love the place. The nice thing about this aquarium is the location. You can go for a walk long the beach and dine in many restaurants around there. It's a small but excellent aquarium.

The Aquarium of the Pacific is conveniently located near the downtown waterfront area of Long Beach. For its size, it features some great exhibits and is very informative.
