Ocean World

Adorable aquarium- small town experience!nThey have been here a long time and are a great stop on the 101! We try to stop in every time we are in Crescent City. I have brought my kids and grandchild too! The sea lions and seals are great to watch!nAffordable roadside attraction!nGreat gift shop!

I got to pet a leopard shark....

I've seen other reviews saying that it's a smaller aquarium more enjoyable for kids, but I disagree. I'm 17 and a senior in hs and I had an amazing time, it was so much fun! All of the attractions were so cool and interactive, and the gift shop was amazing as well, I had a hard time deciding what souvenir to get. Definitely go here if you are in town and looking for something fun and educational to do.

I've been to this attraction several times over the years and it's always been a great time! Their gift shop is wonderful, with reasonable prices on beautiful items. There are sea anemones and star fish you can touch and hold, as well as a 4 foot shark you can pet. Cora the sea lion is very talented and a joy to watch. If you get a chance to stop by take a hour, peruse the shop and enjoy the show.

We drove 5 hours to bring our grandkids here. So worth the drive. you have to wait in line for about 20 minutes for your group to go in but each group had its own tour guide. Each guide was so friendly and helpful.. the tide pools were awesome. You were able to pick up and touch everything in the pool. We plan on coming back again before the end of summer.
