    Tunnels under the water, you might get a little sea sick. Interesting short jaunt.

    Not worth it. The California Academy of Sciences at Golden Gate Park offers a similar aquarium along with way more stuff (rainforest, ostriches, planetarium). Go there instead.

    A little touristy but not the worst. Touch tanks are the best part.
