Small, interactive aquarium with science in mind. Admission is free and it is located right on the pier. Staff are helpful and knowledgeable. If you can, consider donating before leaving to help keep up their quality work.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Went to the Manhattan Beach Aquarium on the pier (Roundhouse Aquarium) and it was the cutest place! It’s free to enter, with donations accepted, which makes it such a great stop for families or anyone just walking the pier. You’re able to touch some of the sea creatures in the tanks, which makes it really interactive and fun. There are all kinds of different sea animals to check out, and it’s a cool way to learn about local marine life up close. It’s also kind of awesome that it’s located right at the end of the pier — the setting alone makes it special. Overall, it was really fun and definitely worth the visit. I’d go again for sure. Enjoy- Todd

This place is truly amazing!!! I went on my visit to Manhattan Beach and stopped by here to check it out! It was completely free of charge and it has some really fascinating sea creatures and some of them they let you touch! I would highly recommend stopping by here.

We met a woman at the hotel hot tub we were staying at in Anaheim, and she was a local to the area. She told us this was a little gem of a beach, so we took an Uber out to see it. Glad we did. Cool place.

A great little place to stop by while walking on the pier. It was fun and educational, especially for kids. One of the best parts was getting to touch and hold a sea star and a sea cucumber. It was a really cool experience! The only thing I wished for was a bigger variety of fish. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit.
