Anyone been to the LBA, if so is it worth it? Thinking of taking the kids up there.

It is OK. I think its a little pricey for what you get. Its not very big If I remember correct we were done with the place in maybe an hour or so. I think you would be better off going to Seaworld. just my 02 cents

Took my daughter on a fieldtrip there 2 weeks ago. I thought it was amazing...but Im the kinda guy that actually takes the time to read about the different species etc. Anyhow I left feeling a little guilty as I eat sushi 3 times a week...so that was the downside!

I was fortunate enough to go there just before they opened. I was honestly impressed and like unleashed said, take your time.One amazing thing I learned is that all of the water goes through their filter system every 3 hours.
:D v-drive

It's cool. Take your time. It will still only be a couple of hours or so but it's different than Sea World. It's more educational and not a bunch of dolphin shows and such. More fish and smaller sea life. The kids will absolutely love touching all the sharks and rays. Look around there are usually coupons somewhere. Anyways, from Orange County it's far so it's a nice little day trip.

We did it last year, very kewl place to go. Read about a lot of interesting coastline info and saw some amazing fish and sea creatures.
Feeding the birds in that aviary was the treat for my kids. the little birds land on your shoulders and arms to drink the little liquid food they sell you. Take hanky, they poop, too.

I have been to many Aquariums and the Long Beach (Aquarium of the Pacific) one is by far the best. Lot's to see and very well run.
Go and enjoy...
