Seafaring adventure awaits across the multi-faceted aquarium map, which is highlighted by the Lost City of Atlantis, where you can take a stroll through a 200,000-gallon mini-sea filled with sharks, stingrays, and other sea creatures. Around the bend, the Southern California Tide Pool hosts a meet ’n’ greet for starfish fanatics and human-hungry sea stars alike. Catch a variety of aquarium activities throughout the week, including shark, octopus, and seahorse feedings; puppet shows; and close encounters with nature's most misunderstood predatory polyp, the sea anemone.

After a long day of diplomatic relations with the oceanic party, treat your family's smiling jaws to a relaxed meal at Ocean Journey Café, a market-style restaurant stocked with fresh, locally supplied eats. As you feast, share your favorite experiences, or quiz one another on how many rows of teeth you'll need to finish the candy in the gift shop.
