A trip to the Aquarium of the Pacific isn't cheap, but there are ways around it. They give two free tickets to employees of non-profit organizations, which, if you're reading this, probably isn't you. You probably don't work, period. Maybe you have a friend who does and they will bring you.
There are other ways to get into the aquarium if you don't want to pony up $24. During the summer, they charge the price of kids' admission after 6 p.m. They have free offers throughout the year, or you can cunningly sneak in by the area where they keep the lorikeets. This part of the aquarium is kind of creepy, the birds are loud and you are in an enclosed outdoor area. I blame Alfred Hitchcock for this fear.
There are some really awesome animals exhibited by the aquarium. The most captivatingly cool creatures are jellyfish, stingrays, otters, and sharks. There is an outdoor area where you are allowed to reach in the water and pet stingrays and sharks. It might be a little intimidating but they are small, and when you look to either side, you'll see an 80-year-old woman or a 6-year-old kid reaching in, and you realize it's no big deal.
Overall, the aquarium is a pretty fun experience. If you can score discounted tickets, it's definitely worth it. A downside is the amount of people, but if you ingest some interesting substances beforehand, maybe you won't care. Plus, the animals will look cooler.
