NOW OPEN—Stars of the Sea
Join the Aquarium of the Pacific in an exploration and celebration of sea stars. Discover their delicate beauty, fascinating diversity, superhero powers, and the threats that could lead to these stars fading forever. From the venomous crown-of-thorns and spider-like brittle stars to the highly endangered sunflower sea star, gaze into ocean depths to reveal the true stars of the galaxy. Touch sea stars in our new Our Living Coastline exhibit, featuring a rocky tidepool with two touchpools, multiple peek-through windows, and surging cascades. Learn how you can fuel our groundbreaking research, breeding programs, and recovery efforts to bring the sunflower sea star, the guardian of our kelp forests, back from the brink of extinction.
