Steinhart is on my list of aquariums to visit. In fact I'm kinda hoping to go this fall, but we'll see if I can make that dream a reality. Charles Delbeek moved to there away from the Waikiki Aquarium, must be pretty plum to be able to lure a Canadian away from Hawaii!!!!

It is AWESOME!!!!!!!! I would have stayed all day in front of the big tank but my 5 year old got bored quickly! We got some pics but most would not allow flash and of course flash just reflected off the glass no matter what we tried...and then the ones without flash...well not great but we tried..while we were at Universal our camera was stolen last week.so replaced it with a cheaper model. And not knowing we were going to this aquarium we didn't bring the Nikon D80 DAMMIT!

Wow, your post is timely for me, I'm going to SF tomorrow. I hadn't planned on going to the aquarium but I will now. I saw the seadragons at the aquarium in San Diego last month and absolutely loved them.

I loved it so much more than any other I'd seen before. It was fantastic! Have fun!! We'll most likely pass each other on the road unless you're flying!

Where in San Diego did you see the leafy sea dragons? Was it in SeaWorld aquarium? I'm heading there in 28 days!

I can't wait!

Totally check it out...for me it was a better experience than seeing the Seaworld displays. The fish were all incredibly healthy and not eating bunches of romaine lettuce. None had any lateral line issues or anything at the Science Center. We also saw the King Tut exhibit just across the parking lot/garden there...if you like ancient Egyptian stuff it's awesome!
