A charge labeled like “AQUARIUM LONG BEACH CA” on a bank or card statement typically corresponds to admission tickets, membership purchases or renewals, special event tickets, parking (if processed through the same merchant account), donations, or gift shop or café purchases made on-site. Charges may be one-time (for day tickets or retail items) or recurring (for annual memberships set to auto-renew). In some cases, there may be a small temporary authorization hold if a card was used to guarantee a booking or online purchase.

To verify an Aquarium of the Pacific charge, cardholders should review their ticket confirmations, membership emails, or receipts from the date the charge posted, and compare the amount to known ticket or membership prices.

I don’t recognize the Aquarium of the Pacific charge amount—what are typical prices?

A small temporary authorization hold may appear when your card is used to reserve tickets, verify a payment method, or open a tab for on-site purchases. These authorizations are usually reversed automatically within a few business days and will either drop off entirely or be replaced by the final settled charge.

How can I get a receipt or invoice for my Aquarium of the Pacific purchase?

To cancel auto-renewal or change your membership, reach out to the aquarium’s membership department using the contact details on aquariumofpacific.org or on your membership confirmation email. Provide your member ID (if available) and request that auto-renew be disabled or that your membership be adjusted before your next renewal date.

Can multiple Aquarium of the Pacific charges appear on the same day?

Yes.
