I didn't know where to go with my granddaughter, her husband and my great grand child. The aquarium of the pacific was perfect. A lot of indoors and some outdoors. Clean, magical, and entertaining. Afterwards restaurant row was right there. Thanks Aquarium of the Pacific for a wonderous day.

Having the tickets made it easy to go right in, but I had been worried because I had scheduled an 11:15 time, but the tickets said you had to be there 15 minutes before 9:00 am. That was an impossibility so we just hoped for the best. We strolled right in so I have to assume thw times don't matter, just be forewarned. Not Headout's fault but only one of the three elevators worked in the parking lot on a weekend full of wheelchairs and strollers!

Loved using the service at Headout. I was able to take my son for his first birthday and we really had a blast. I was fortunate to get the skip the line feature due to when we arrived, there were 4 school buses with many children for a field trip getting tickets and the line was long, luckily I didn't have to do that and just went straight to the entrance and got in. Will use this service again!

It was the most special day witnessing the wonder of ocean life through my kids eyes! We loved the rainbow lorikeet forest and getting to feed them nectar, the otters, seal show, frog room, and the giant pacific octopus! I love how Headout made it all so streamlined and easy for us to book!

    I'm 90, took a friend 85 who had never been, he loved it. I took my 4 kids there 55 years ago, and it was amazing then.
