Aquarium of the Bay at PIER 39 is an innovative "diver's eye view" of marine life in the San Francisco Bay and the Northern Pacific Ocean. In America's first UnderWater World aquarium, you will travel through 300 feet of crystal clear tunnels on a moving walkway, surrounded by over 10,000 fish of the San Francisco Bay and off-shore waters. From schools of shimmering Northern anchovy and jack smelt to the world of the bat ray and seven gill shark, you will experience undersea life as never before. While exploring their habitat you may encounter monkey face eels, spiny dogfish sharks and sturgeons.

A fun and fascinating 30 minute headphone tour leads you through the diver's-eye view experience. Throughout the journey, you will hear the sounds of lapping waves and wildlife of the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.

At sea level, you venture through dioramas featuring marine habitats of the San Francisco Bay, the Sacramento River Delta marshlands and the Sierra Nevada mountain stream habitats. Living displays of Pacific herring, juvenile leopard sharks, big skates and young Chinook salmon are all part of the largest tidal estuary on the West Coast of North and South America...The San Francisco Bay.

This place is great for a private group dinner with champagne and hors d'euvres or impress your business partners with a relaxed meeting in the tunnel with coffee and desserts.
