“Wonderful little gem of a place! Small enough to easily walk through while genuinely enjoying the wildlife displays and interactive experiences! The aquarium is conveniently located at the end of Manhattan Beach Pier. There are educational labels with pictures at each display, and there is a tide pool with guided interactive experiences on site for kids of all ages! The moon jellyfish were so cool to watch! Definitely if you are in the area check it out! It's easy to get to and free to enter, although donations are encouraged and accepted.”

1600 Ocean Front Walk, Santa Monica, CA 90401, United States

“Nice, smaller aquarium with many hands-on displays where visitors can pet aquatic life such as sharks, sting rays, and sea stars. The aquarium is located under the Santa Monica pier—follow the ramp or stairs down to find it. Entrance is free for kids under 12 with an adult ticket, which makes it an entertaining and affordable family option. There is also a small lab, movie/craft room, and camp and volunteer activities offered at the museum. Everything is on one floor and easily walkable/reachable for small kids. Be sure to check the special events calendar on their website for activities such as shark feeding.”

186 Village Ct, San Dimas, CA 91773, United States

“Great place to host a birthday party! I wish the had more open play times. 3 different themed rooms with various inflatable slides & bounce houses. I personally suggest you arrive slightly early to the party so you can sign waivers & be ready for the 1st room. As their website says party guests spend 30 min in each room & your party is private. Pirate room, glow room & then sports room will have the kiddos tuckered out, then you go to the party room for food/snacks. I really appreciate their reasonable prices! We ordered pizza from their vendor & it was quite tasty as well. For parties, they count guests age 2-17, which I like so I don't have to worry about paying extra in case grandparents want to come. I personally chose to bring my own tablecloths/plates to give the party room a more festive feel. Jarrod our party host was extremely helpful in setting up the party room & checking on us frequently. Each party room has 4 tables (with benches) & then a 5th table. There are various benches/chairs around the room and for our party of 30 kids there was plenty of seating. My only wishes were that the bathrooms were more updated (new paint/flooring) they were slightly dark & dingy feeling but adequate.”
