I'm excited to pet the bat rays!
I'd love to take my family to see the sharks!
I'm otterly excited to meet the penguins!
Our family would love to see the penguins and sea otters:)
I love that I can touch some of the animals and also feeding the birds is one of my favorite things to do.
WOW...My friends and I were just talking about goint to the aquarium to see the new penguin exhibit! I'd love to win so we all can go together!
We are an sea lovin family and would be out of our minds THRILLED to have a chance to visit the aquarium!! We're crazy over those Jellies and would love to pay them a visit and say HELLO!!!!
Among the 500 species there, definitely the keyes penguin habitat!
This was the summer I promised myself I was finally going to make it to the aquarium! I can't wait to see the sea otters.
Everything at the Aquarium is pretty amazing, but I'd have to say the penguins are at the top of my list of what I'd love to see!
As always, looking forward to seeing some penguins in their habitat! :)
I LOVE the Aquarium of the Pacific and KCET! My sweetie took me to see the otters for my birthday a few years ago but the exhibit was under renovation while they built them a bigger habitat. We haven't been back yet because we've had to tighten our belts a bit with the economy but we'd love a chance to win these tickets! If we win, we'd take our nieces and our first stop would be to see the otters! Thank you KCET and good luck to all entrants!!
I would love to see the periikete habitat and have them eat of my hand.Spent the day at the Aqua ri um being kissed by the ocean breeze. Long Beach is the place to be.
The slimy lumpsucker! And all the leafy, ferny sea dragons.
To see the kids smiling faces when they see the sights! Thanks to KCET!
The penguins are coming to town! Would love to take my god daughter to see the penguins and otters. :)
Hi my name Is Amanda and I would LOVE to have the five tickets for my family and I. We are a low income family and rarely go places that cost money to get in. The last time I went to the Aquarium of the Pacific was for my friends birthday about six years ago. I would really appreciate if I were chosen also because I'm interested in biology.
Thank you! :)
I had the joy of visiting the Aquarium of the Pacific In December 2011. The Penguin Exhibit was under construction then and I would so look forward to seeing it now! I'm also excited to see the leafy sea dragons in the Tropical Pacific gallery...simply amazing!
"a comment".
I'm just kidding. I'd LOVE to take my Daughter & Parents here.
My boyfriend and I just checked out "The creatures of the Light" from The American Natural History Museum in NY. We were fascinated to watch videos in the mini dome, hear lectures, and participate in arts and crafts activities. We are thirsty for more ( pun intended ).

I want to check out the Whale Voices section because it is completely different from our everyday noises we have grown to be accustomed to hearing in our everyday lives.
Penguins are my second section that I am looking into because of my heritage is from South America. Anything to do with Chile, South American feel almost like a homework assignment. It is my duty to know as much information as I can to spread the knowledge onto others:)
Excited about the whole Aquarium but in particular the shark exhibit.
My 13 year old daughter dreams of being a marine biologist and pesters me every single day to go to the Aquarium. She would love to see every creature, from sharks to penguins to plankton. If I don't win, perhaps the winner could take her!!
I am looking forward to seeing the penguins and the otters.
Our sons face just lights up as he enters a new world of wonder, and we give anything to take him again :)
I totally need to go visit the Penguin Exhibit because my daughter Savannah and niece Jade believe that they're Happy Feet lol. They literally tap dance to any beat!
I'm excited about the new penguin exhibit..
I have family coming into town from Vancouver and would love to take them to the Aquarium of the Pacific. Can't wait to see the Sharks and Otters.
My 6 year old grandson has visited the Aquarium at least three times already. I would love to have him give me and my husband a tour of his favorite exhibits.
Oh we love the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific. My Granddaughter looooves to feed the bat rays, but we really love everything there.
Thanks!
We have never been to the aquarium and would love to see it all
- especially the jellyfish!
I would love to take my 3 year old nephew and 1 year old niece to see the Jellyfish and the new Penguin exhibit. they love the aquariums.
I have 3 neices ages who I know would be so amazed by seeing it ALL! They live in an apartment with no play yard. And unfortunately my sister doesn't make enough money to give them the luxury of going to such places. Being able to take my girls when they were younger, was a great experience for me. Just to see their smiles, excitement and eyes light up on their faces, was a joyful experience as a mother. I would like my sister to be able to experience such an amazing place! Thank you. :)
I'm definitely most interested in seeing the penguins - we haven't been to the Aquarium of the Pacific since the exhibit opened.
I would like to take my wife and our almost-3-year-old son to the Aquarium of the Pacific for the first time. We never have been to a gigantic aquarium and would love to see the sharks, turtles, octopi, penguins and colorful and strange-looking fish and other species, as up, close and personal (and safe) as we can--even if only behind the glass! Our son loves fish tanks. He always stops by to say 'hi' and 'hola' to the colorful swimmers in the fish tank at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
I love the opportunity to pet the baby sharks, but on my next trip, I would be most excited to see the penguins!!;)
we are a family who loves to learn so i think we would be excited to just go!! my daughter loves penguins so we would definetly spend most of our time there! i also personally would be excited to try one of their animal encounters like with the sharks..!! thatd be amazing :)

My boyfriend and I are huge fans of the Aquarium of the Pacific! We had a perfect date the last time we went there. Where else can we visit colorful Lorikeets, who pair up and snuggle one another and in the same day visit adorable sea lions and seals, who play "fetch" with pieces of ice? Yep, no where else in Southern California can we have that kind of experience, and we would love to do it again.
I can't wait to see all the sea horses! Please pick me!
The penguins! (Also, my favorite thing to do at zoos and aquariums is to watch the people watching the animals)
I would love to go & take my kids. My 8 year old daughter has been begging me to take her see the sharks but my economic status at this moment does not all me too. This will be awesome
Moon jellies!!!
My 7 year-old daughter LOVES penguins. This would be the perfect summer outing for her.
I am excited about seeing the new June Keyes Penguin Habitat but I love it all!
The aquarium of the pacific is a wonderful, educational place. I know my daughter (and myself) would love the touch pools, the otters, fish and penguin exhibits!!
My new 5 year old friend,just learned to swim..i would love to take him and his mom to the Aquarium of the Pacific and get away from all the drama they are going thru back home. I am trying to be a positive role model, i love nature and i would like for him to see the beauty nature has to offer.
My two young nieces LOVE the ocean and ANYTHING related. They really enjoy the hands on tanks!!!
Penguins swimming under water! All the colorful ocean fish. Our son is turning 2 this July & this is the one thing we want to do for his birthday.
I just adore the Aquarium of the Pacific. Touching the jelly fish is simply incredible and just a tad scary particularly when the attendant says, yes they can still sting, as you are touching them. But my absolute favorite is a non sea critter, the Lorakeets! I love feeding their cute little bird faces. :)
I'm a (land) animal technician and want more exposure to marine species. I've been to the Marine Mammal Center and that pitiful Pier 39 Aquarium in San Francisco, and really want to visit a world class aquatic animal facility such as this.
Would love to take my 2.5 year old daughter to see the penguins and the sharks. She loves to see all the fishies!
As a chemist and an environmentalist, I'm most excited about the Ocean Science Center!
I'm excited to see the look on my two year-old son's face when he sees all the amazing sea animals for the first time!
I absolutely LOVE the lorikeets. My family has to drag me away from there. And I want to see the penguins too!
Penguins!
I have never gone to the Aquarium of the Pacific, and I would like to take my family.
My son is 8 years old, and his heart is in marine animals, the ocean, and all ocean life. His favorite is sharks, eels, rays, and the tide pools. I like the octopus, and the reef animals. I take him to the ocean and aquariums as often as I can. We would so appreciate the tickets, and the inspiration they would bring. Thank you.
Growing up in a drug addict house hold, the only event I remeber my mom participating in was a field trip to the Aquarium of the Pacific when I was 7. Its one of if not the best memory I have as a child. My mom has now since delt with her addictions and recently graduated a drug counselor. I struggle with fibromyalgia and raising my 5 yr old. All that to say it would be an awesome day to take the two people that mean the world to me on a day none of us could afford or will soon forget.
I would like to take my 3 nephews, Nathan will be 3yrs of age in August 12, Bryan 6yrs old and Mathew 12yrs old. My sister will be due any day now and is expecting her 4th child and it's finally a GIRL!! YAY!! :). While she will be home resting with her new child i would LOVE to take my nephews and well i've never been to the Aquaruim of The Pacific!! So this would be a great experience for my nephews and I. This would be a GREAT SUMMER GIFT that my nephews will never forget!! I LOVE TURTLES!! & would like my nephews to see the Ocean Science Center!! Thanks KCET!!
Penguins, penguins, penguins! I'd love to see the colorful fish, too. It would be my first trip to the Aquarium of the Pacific.
We haven't been to the aquarium in a few years, and, my almost-six-year-old has been asking when we can go back. We are most excited about the June Keyes Penguin exhibit!
The penguins, AND the otters, AND the giant pacific octopus, AND the coral, AND the sea turtles, AND the lorikeets, AND the ocean science center, AND the harbor seal pup, AND ... AND ... AND! :)
I really love penguins!
I'm excited for my 1 year old to see all the colorful fish. He just loves the ocean!
I'm excited to see the new penguins at the Aquarium of the Pacific. I've seen sneak glimpses of them on the local news but would like to see them at the Aquarium.
I'd love to see the penguins. I haven't seen them since they have arrived!! But I also just love to spend time sitting and petting the little sharks.
We would love, love to see the Aquarium of the Pacific. It would be very exciting to see all of the marine life of the Pacific Ocean. Since moving to California We never got to see the them. I love sea creatures, penguins, turtles, dolphins, and whatever you guys have to offer. We thank you very much. Have a blessed day!
I want to see jellyfish!!
I've never been to AOTP and would love to see the sea turtles and sharks
I love the Aquarium of the Pacific! I haven't been in a long time. I'm excited to see the sharks!
The Leafy Sea Dragon is the most amazing creature I've ever seen. I love that the AOP has them.

My nephew, who is 5 years old, would love to see the ocean science center. I showed him the website and he has been browsing thru it and is excited in going. Hopefully, I can win the tickets to take him. Thank you for doing this giveaway!
