Cabrillo Marine Aquarium highlights
The exhibits here are split up into 3 primary sections. First, you'll find the Southern California Marine Habitats Hall, which showcases 5 different habitats local marine life calls home. The second portion is the Aquatic Nursery, which showcases more than 40 species and how to care for them.
If you have kids with you, you won't want to miss out on the Exploration Centre. Here, you'll find unique exhibits like a crawl-in aquarium where little ones can crawl inside and find themselves surrounded by fish. Plus, they can visit the mud walkthrough, a unique exhibit that offers a worm's eye view of the mud.
