Step into a world of wonder beneath the waves as we journey to vibant Long Beach to visit the celebrated Aquarium of the Pacific, a crown jewel of marine exploration and one of the most visited aquariums in the nation. Home to over 11,000 marine animals and more than 100 engaging exhibits, this awe-inspiring facility offers a dazzling glimpse into the vast ecosystems of the Pacific Ocean. Explore 19 major habitats across three principal galleries—the Southern California/Baja, Northern Pacific, and Tropical Pacific—where you'll encounter sea otters, sharks, sea jellies, penguins, and vibrant reef dwellers. Don’t miss the Shark Lagoon, Lorikeet Forest, and Pacific Visions, an immersive wing with multimedia and interactive experiences. Special Senior Day presentations and booths offer enrichment tailored just for you.

After your oceanic journey, enjoy free time at nearby Shoreline Village, a charming seaside enclave filled with waterfront cafés, harbor-view walking paths, a harbor cruise, and colorful boutiques perfect for a relaxing afternoon. Enjoy lunch on your own, or join your Tour Manager for an all-inclusive group lunch at the popular Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., known for its lively atmosphere and fresh coastal fare right along the marina. Come with us and enjoy an ideal blend of enrichment and relaxation along Long Beach’s scenic waterfront.
