Aquarium of the Bay, Public aquarium at Pier 39, San Francisco, US
The Aquarium of the Bay contains two glass tunnels extending 300 feet through tanks filled with 750,000 gallons of filtered San Francisco Bay water.
Since its establishment in 1996, the Aquarium of the Bay has welcomed nearly seven million guests and provided free educational visits to 100,000 local students.
