About the photo: Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach  offers beautiful architecture inside and out. Shown above is the unique parking garage for the aquarium. A round-about drive with a dolphin fountain in the center surrounded by cement planters is the refreshing reminder that you are about to embark on an aquatic, sea adventure. California features a number of aquariums for tourists to enjoy. Some of the top theme park aquariums include this Long Beach treasure, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Sea World San Diego and Six Flags Magic Kingdom Vallejo.  In addition, there are many aquariums throughout the state of California. Just in the near vicinity of Long Beach is an aquarium at San Pedro, and an aquarium on the Manhattan Beach Pier. For a vacation getaway to Long Beach to see the Aquarium, you can stay at the Hyatt across the street.
