ENHANCE YOUR AQUARIUM VISIT
Aquarium Viewing: All Day

Naturalist Guided Tours: One Hour
Our professional naturalist tours of the Aquarium are a terrific way to learn more about one of the world’s great bays and its seemingly infinite variety of life. Limit 30 per tour; multiple tours available. Three week advance scheduling required.
Behind the Scenes Tours: 45 Minutes
Stroll the catwalk above our 700,000 gallon exhibit tunnels, and take in the awesome wonder of eight foot sharks an arm’s length away. Visit our “jellies nursery” and view animals not currently on exhibit. Learn more about the Aquarium’s shark research, and how we are working to protect endangered and special species. Limit 10 per tour; multiple tours available. Three week advance scheduling required.
BEYOND THE AQUARIUM
Bay Cruise: One Hour
Complement your group’s Aquarium visit with a bay cruise. Sail around Alcatraz and cruise beneath the Golden Gate Bridge with a greater understanding of the marine life just beneath you.
City Activities
After your Aquarium visit, our Sales Department can direct you and your group to the City’s other must-see attractions, museums and points of interest, with rates and options tailored to your group.
Bay Area Excursions
Explore the watershed that makes the Bay Area possible. West Marin, the Wine Country, the Sierras – we can help you access outings of all kinds: adrenaline-fueled raft trips, leisurely wine tastings, or Farm to Table dinners.
