Aquarium of the Pacific
I was already in San Pedro to pick up the rental dive gear for my dive trip to Catalina the following day so I took the bridge over to Long Beach. The ride across the bridge was quite interesting. The Port of LA is HUGE!!! Not what I would call scenic but still impressive.The Aquarium of the Pacific was ok. I really expected better displays of wildlife off the coast of California but there wasn't that much of it. I thought the Aquarium at Monterrey is far nicer.

The first cool exhibit was of various jellyfish. Too bad my camcorder doesn't do well in low light.

I then spent some time looking at the cold water tanks. I was planning on scuba diving the following day so I wanted to get an idea of what kind of things I would see.

The rest is just miscellaneous stuff around the rest of the aquarium in no particular order.
