Shark Week may be a summertime classic, but fans of the sleek and splashy superstars know that sharks also rule the heart of winter, at least around a certain Long Beach location.<\/p>\n

We’re talking about Shark Lagoon, one of the most popular (read: obsessed over) areas at the Aquarium of the Pacific.<\/p>\n

This is the outdoor area where you may pause to touch a bamboo or other small shark, something that is always a thrill. The shark glides under your fingertips, giving you just a moment of contact, the sort of moment that has a way of transforming into a core memory.<\/p>\n

If this is your year to up the memory-making moments, and you wouldn’t mind saving money while doing so, make your way to the ocean-adjacent aquarium on select winter Tuesdays to enjoy the free Shark Lagoon Nights.<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, the area isn’t just about the more petite specimens of the lagoon; visitors are invited to admire larger sharks in a non-touch way, from behind glass.<\/p>\n

Whatever your favorite might be \u2014 a sizable shark or a smaller touch pool shark or both, because it is really hard to decide \u2014 you’ll want to reserve your place ahead of time.<\/p>\n

This is important, given the ever-growing popularity of Shark Lagoon Nights. And the fact that they aren’t happening every Tuesday night just means many people with an interest in sharks \u2014 or perhaps we mean “fin-interest” \u2014 will be swimming by the LBC institution to get their sublime sharky fill of the gill-rocking beasties.<\/p>\n

Shark Week may be a half year away, but sharking-up your January, and February, is powerfully possible at these pay-nothing Aquarium of the Pacific evenings.<\/p>\n

Oh, and from the “good to know” files: The lagoon is the only open part of the aquarium during these special nights. If you’d like to take in the rest of the excellent exhibits, be sure to buy a ticket during the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What to KnowShark Lagoon Twilight TuesdaysAquarium of the PacificLong BeachJan. 13, Jan. 27, and Feb. 246 to 9…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":118051,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[713,131,133,132],"class_list":["post-118050","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-animals-and-wildlife","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118050","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118050"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118050\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118051"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
