Know Before You Go
As you walk in, your temperature will be checked by a staff member with a touchless scanner. Social distancing and mandatory face coverings are the new normal for all staff and visitors. Complimentary disposable masks will be available upon entry.
In addition to timed reservations limiting the crowds, visual reminders will be scattered throughout the space to keep everyone at least six feet apart when touring the exhibits. For more information about COVID-19 mitigation strategies and guidelines at the aquarium, click here.
Once you're inside, self-guided tours run in a linear direction. You come in through Pier 3 and exit through Pier 4. Grab-and-go food options will be available for purchase at the Harbor Market Café, and touchless water fill stations are available throughout the aquarium. Don't forget to bring a water bottle with you!
Some of the interactive displays, like the touch pools, remain closed temporarily. You can plan your visit online by seeing the current exhibits here.
