Mayor London N. Breed today announced that the Health Officer of the City and County of San Francisco has issued a Public Health Order requiring that residents remain in place, with the only exception being for essential needs. This measure is necessary to slow the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in the community. The Order is effective as of midnight on Tuesday, March 17 and is effective until further notice.
We value the health of our staff and guests – and we feel it best that we must temporarily suspend operations until we emerge from these challenging times.
Aquarium of the Bay will remain closed until further notice. If you have questions, please contact us at:
