Steinhart Aquarium

Imagine 600 different kinds of fish from the size of a child's pinkie to as large as five feet, from as close as our own San Francisco Bay to as far away as the Amazon. Nowhere else can you see such diversity than at the California Academy of Sciences' Steinhart Aquarium. You may see garden eels peep up out of their sand hideouts, a freshwater polka-dotted stingray soar through the water, or a pack of hungry piranhas circle in wait of mealtime. And lets not forget what else sets the Steinhart Aquarium apart lizards scurrying on rocks, snakes coiling around branches, and alligators lounging in the swamp.
