Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, Public aquarium in San Pedro, Los Angeles, United States.
Cabrillo Marine Aquarium is a public facility in San Pedro dedicated to marine life of the Southern California coast. Its indoor spaces feature touch pools, research laboratories, and multiple exhibit areas where visitors observe sea creatures in different settings.
The collection started in 1935 as a small display of marine specimens at Cabrillo Beach Bathhouse. The project grew over time and moved into a new building in 1981 that was designed by a renowned architect.
The facility reflects how the local marine community engages with and learns about the ocean. Visitors see people of all ages connecting with sea creatures and discovering their regional waters.
The building sits along the San Pedro waterfront and is accessible by foot or car. Visitors should know that hours vary and it may open later or close earlier on some days, so calling ahead is worth the effort.
A research library is integrated into the facility and holds records about local marine species. Scientists and curious visitors can explore documentation about the region's water systems there.
