California gray whale

Each year from late December through early April of the next year, San Diego whale watching cruises are offered. One way to see them is through the Go San Diego pass, which includes a one day pass offering additional attractions to see. You can buy the pass for one day or even a week. But a cheaper way to see strictly the whales is the San Diego Harbor Excursion, which provides you a ticket for strictly whale watching, usually around or under $30 per person.

Another new offering that we thought was strictly a dinner cruise company is Hornblower. For just $2 more than the other company, you can take their weekend whale watching cruise. Leaving at 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., it is a good value for being out on the ocean 3.5 hours, which amounts to less than $10 per hour. That’s nearly a half day of entertainment.

Whale watch doesn’t normally provide stunning photos of California gray whales. Their rugged, bumpy skin surface looks crusted, and the whale’s color blends with the water quite well. But being on a boat up close and personal to a whale is an experience that include the moment. Looking for the whales, seeing their spouts of water coming to the surface like huge fountains, and then seeing them rise to the surface, all provide the excitement that also allows you to appreciate the massive size of these marvels of the sea. If you get a chance in San Diego to whale watch, by all means, do it!

Sea Life Aquarium  in Carlsbad, California’s Legoland opened in August 2008 adjacent to LEGOLAND California. Exquisite deep-sea wonders include display tanks filled with more than 5,000 creatures ranging from shoreline marine life such as starfish and crabs to larger species such as sharks and rays. The Sea Life network is a renowned supporter of marine conservation, having campaigned successfully to improve protection for species ranging from endangered sea turtles to sharks.

Sharks Revealed – an interactive exhibit designed to introduce children to these mysterious and misunderstood creatures of the deep was introduced in 2009.  Examining the life cycle and evolution of sharks, guests discover how sharks eat, breathe and sleep.

Replacing the Kelp Forest exhibit which was on display at SEA LIFE since its opening in August of 2008, Sharks Revealed includes a graphic timeline showing the evolution of sharks from 350 million years ago to today; a live display of sharks showing their development from eggs to adults; local shark species found off the coast of Carlsbad; an interactive “shark lab” where guests can get a hands-on experience using microscopes; a large-scale model of a “mermaid’s purse” for a fun photo opportunity; plus crafts and artifacts.

The SEA LIFE Aquarium in Carlsbad already has more sharks than any of the other 29 SEA LIFE Centers world-wide including black tip reef sharks, white tip reef sharks, zebra sharks, leopard sharks, epaulettes, Port Jackson sharks and the rare grey reef sharks. Several new species will be part of the “Sharks Revealed” exhibit including the brown banded bamboo shark, the white spotted bamboo shark and the coral catshark.

The company behind iconic brands such as LEGOLAND family theme parks, Madame Tussauds and The London Eye, UK-based Merlin is the world’s biggest aquarium operator and already has 31 other Sea Life attractions in Europe. Last year, Merlin also acquired the Underwater Adventures Aquarium in the Mall of America in Minneapolis.

The second biggest visitor attraction operator in the world and the fastest growing company in the sector, Merlin Entertainments is swiftly making a name for itself in the U.S.  In addition to the two aquariums, Merlin currently has seven other attractions in the U.S. with three more scheduled to open in 2010, including a Phoenix Sea Life Aquarium.

LEGOLAND California has been voted the Best Children’s Park for the last five years by Amusement Today; and Merlin is also the company behind Madame Tussauds attractions in New York, Washington D.C., Las Vegas and Hollywood; and a LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Chicago.
