Explore the San Francisco aquariums with me!🪼🐧🦈

Just got back from San Francisco yesterday & as a big aquarium lover I got to go to 2 aquariums while I was there! Aquarium of the Bay located at Pier 39, & Steinhart Aquarium located at California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park!

Both aquariums were such an awesome experience. I got to see things like sharks, penguins, stingrays, snakes, jellyfish. We also went over to the rainforest side at the Academy of Sciences & got to see parrots & a whole bunch of butterflies! Seriously such an awesome time😊🦋🪼🦈 have you guys been here? If not they definitely need to be added to the San Francisco bucket list!😊
