I brought my family and we had an amazing time. First time for my baby girl. She was loving all the animals, especially the jellyfish and puffins. The staff and volunteers were very nice and polite.

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!

Experience a day filled with hands-on interactions and immersive shows at the Aquarium of the Pacific, encounter sharks, a free 180-degree show, and more!

With this skip-the-line ticket, bypass queues and check out zones like the Shark Lagoon with over 150 shark species, and the Coral Reefs exhibit.

Witness a captivating 8-minute show at the Pacific Visions Theater, showcased on a spectacular 130-foot-wide screen.

Visit the Sea Otter Habitat, June Keyes Penguin Habitat, and Jellies exhibit to meet a range of adorable and fascinating inhabitants.

Did you know? The Aquarium is part of the Aquarium Conservation Partnership, actively reducing ocean and freshwater plastic pollution for a greener future.

The app was easy to use and hassle free at the door. I would definitely use it again when purchasing tickets to any venue available.
