Great place to go at night
by bbqbilly at Citysearch
The Friday night program at the aquarium is the way to go. There are no crowds, you can buy a wolfgang puck prepared picnic for two for not a whole lot of money, and there is a cash bar at just $3 a bottle for beer (the sign said premium but they "were out."

I am not sure how much it costs as I was taken, but it was a cool way to spend a couple of hours.
- Pros: everything
- Cons: only domestic beer

Many species
by mquintana at Citysearch
Great place to see many species of fish. If you get to catch the feeding of the whales it will make your trip extra special. Not a bad place to have a banquet.
- Pros: Great animals
- Cons: rather small
