Birch Aquarium La Jolla

   It is at a beautiful location.  It is interesting to know that this is one of the world's most renowned aquariums for more than a century.  There are amazing 30 tanks filled with fish and coral species.  The aquarium also offers seasonal outdoor activities such as kayak tours and snorkeling with sharks.  The admission price is cheap.  It was worth the visit.
