Under the Santa Monica Pier – just below the carousel – is this small aquarium, sponsored by the environmental group Heal the Bay. Kid-friendly touch tanks crawl with crabs and crustaceans scooped from local waters. Get close to an eel in the reef area and see seaweed up close in an exhibit on the kelp forests growing just offshore.
