Lonely Planet review

Birch Aquarium, off N Torrey Pines Rd, isn't as blatantly razzle-dazzle - or immense - as those other aquariums you'll find in Monterey or Long Beach, but this top-notch educational and research institution has brilliant displays on marine life. The staff has the time and the inclination to answer any underwatery question you can throw at them. Check out the touch tidepool overlooking the ocean, and don't leave without glimpsing the diminutive weedy sea dragons, in the Art of Deception hall.
