    So many beers on draft!
    Riley S.

    Awesome! No questions asked added 5 more rides which are great for kids and also have a new gift store and food inside and about 15 beers on draft so it's perfect for the kids and the parents :)

    Just from my point of view, I counted 7 empty swings from the long line I was waiting in.

    Ok so I will split this into two reviews:…read more 1: the ships and actual adventure 2: the reservation process and customer service 1: booked a trip for the Spanish replica ship adventure the San Salvador and really loved it. The ticket also got you access to the other ships to walk around which was cool. But the coolest part was that San Salvador was sailed like they would have sailed it waaay back when. We got to see real rigging masts sails steering all being done by a crew and it was a totally amazing experience and such a perfect day. Bonus: we saw dolphins and it was a perfect day. Drawback: the gentlemen speaking throughout didn't talk into his mic often so missed a lot but oh well - who's really going for history?! such a good time!!. 2. I had a good with my tickets and called and tried to talk to folks in person and could never get someone. The tickets were cancelled but not refunded which was a bummer and staff in the kiosk even said they phone lines were messed up. A bummer. :(

    The Maritime Museum of San Diego is honestly one of the most impressive history museums I've…read morevisited because the artifacts are the museum. You aren't just looking at history -- you're surrounded by ships that actually survived it. The Star of India, launched in 1863, survived mutiny, violent storms, collisions at sea, and decades carrying immigrants across dangerous oceans. Some sailors believed the ship was cursed after captains died during early voyages, yet somehow she survived long enough to become the oldest active sailing ship in the world. HMS Surprise shows the brutal reality of naval warfare during the Age of Sail. Ships like this once carried enough cannon firepower to destroy enemy vessels while sailors lived packed below deck surrounded by gunpowder, disease, and fear of battle. The Berkeley steam ferry even helped evacuate survivors during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake while much of the city burned. One of the most fascinating exhibits is the Soviet B-39 submarine from the Cold War. The inside is unbelievably cramped and gives you a real sense of what life was like beneath the ocean during one of the most dangerous periods in modern history. The USS Dolphin may have been my favorite. This experimental deep-diving U.S. Navy submarine helped test advanced underwater technology and launched the deepest-fired torpedo in naval history. The museum also includes the San Salvador, recreating the ship that explored California's coastline in 1542 -- long before America existed as a country. What makes this place incredible is the timeline it creates: 1500s exploration... 1800s global sailing... steam-powered industry... world wars... Cold War submarines... All sitting together in one harbor. This place doesn't just teach maritime history -- it shows how ships shaped exploration, immigration, trade, warfare, and entire empires.

    On 06/19/26, we took the 9 am excursion. Listen to this…read moreadvice..... Upgrade to "THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE "!!! You will not regret it. It will accommodate up to 6 in your group. My Husband and I got in line early to check in. We saw the opportunity to upgrade and we took it! He and I had the whole outside of the Captain's deck all to ourselves! My Husband got to fulfill his childhood dream of whale watching and boy did we see some beautiful wildlife! We saw majestic whales, dolphins, birds, sea lions, and while waiting in line to board, fish and stingrays. I got really seasick and the crew there were so kind to me...they kept checking on me, bringing me bags, peppermints and water. Allison, the wildlife narrator, was especially kind. She was also very knowledgeable and her enthusiasm to educate the public about the local wildlife was evident from the beginning! There was also a very attentive young lady crew member that would often see if we needed anything. She also kept bringing me mints, water and bags...she was even kind enough to throw away my full bag. That takes a special kind of humanity to discretely do that. There was a crew member with a beard who also checked on us. I was so seasick by that point that I failed to get their names, but I hope someone lets them know how much I appreciated their hospitality. The star of the show, of course, was Captain Mike! He came out and talked to us and as he was talking to us about his job, we could hear the sincere passion in his voice! He perfectly plotted our trip and made sure that everyone was able to have a great view of the wildlife. We were impressed by how much love and respect the crew members had for the wildlife and the ecosystem. Captain Mike spotted a Mylar balloon, stopped the engine and the team picked it up! I'm sure a beautiful sea creature was saved that day! Thank you again for the wonderful opportunity we had today! This experience is definitely going in the books!!!

We were lucky enough to see a whale that truly put on an amazing show--such a memorable moment. The crew was efficient, friendly, and very informative throughout the entire trip, which made us feel comfortable and engaged. Everything was also very budget-friendly, which made it an even greater value. Overall, a great experience and absolutely worth both the time and the money. Highly recommend!

    Hakkai is the sister shop to Pet Zone (exotic fishes). It's focus is purely an urban pop up shop…read morefor aquascape at Liberty Station at Barrack 19 at the corner of Dewey and Historic Decatur road. We came the first week of November on their soft opening. Located inside the double doors, you'll find Hakkai occupying a tiny space no more than 200 sqft that mimics an art gallery, except it ranges from small to large aquariums or shall I say "tanks" with living creatures inside as in tree branches, wood, stones. You can buy what you see or create your own. Other shelf items are fertilizers, rocks, and plants. What is aquascape? It's a form of art, an "under water gardening" activity. Before this, I never knew this type of hobby existed. Just like gardening, aquascape has many styles: Iwagumi style Manzanita wood Dutch tank Aquascaping Planted tanks Rimless tank Low iron tanks The service here is wonderful. The staff will help you on your tank needs whether you're a newbie or a veteran. They even sell already curated tanks. Aquascape is like the latest paint with wine or pottery activity because Hakkai offer group workshops where you can learn how to design your own tank! Hands on classes are offered at this location in the courtyard. The workshops are offered by skill level, types of styles and some are free while others require a fee. This activity would be great as a gift or for yourself especially when it's outdoors and you can maintain social distance during CoVId.

    If you're tryna get into Aquascape, come thru to Hakkai! They made a good choice to set up shop in…read moreLiberty Station, since the vibe and the space is great for the classes/workshops they put on! The staff is knowledgeable and they will get you up to date on learning about the hobby and setting you up with the right equipment and tools to become a master at this. Highly recommend!
