Yes, as far as we know. We last checked on Oct 27, 2026. If you turn up and it's out of order, tap "Report an issue" on this page so the next person doesn't waste a trip.
How much is a strip at Aquarium of the Pacific, and can I pay by card?
$5 for a strip. Cash only — bring coins or small notes.
Is Aquarium of the Pacific a real film photo booth or a digital one?
Real film. It's a Photo-Me. The strip is developed with real photo chemistry inside the machine, so give it a few minutes to drop.
Do I need to book, or can I just walk up to Aquarium of the Pacific?
Just walk up. It's a coin-op booth, not a hire service — no booking, no attendant. If the venue is open, the booth is on.
How many photos do you get at Aquarium of the Pacific, and how long does it take?
One strip of four shots for $5. The machine takes the four in quick succession, then develops the strip on the spot — usually three to five minutes before it drops into the slot.
What time can I use the booth at Aquarium of the Pacific?
9 AM - 6 PM. The booth is inside the venue, so those are the hours that matter.

About Aquarium of the Pacific
Aquarium of the Pacific is listed at 100 Aquarium Way, Long Beach, CA, United States. The machine on site is a Photo-Me, so expect a chemically developed strip rather than a digital print.
The booth is currently listed as working, with published hours of 9 AM - 6 PM. A strip costs $5. It takes cash; card payment has not been confirmed here, so bring notes or coins.
Visiting an analog photo booth in Long Beach requires a slightly slower pace than a digital tablet kiosk. Once coins or a card trigger the cycle, the camera fires four separate frames spaced roughly two to three seconds apart, signaled by the overhead flash or indicator light inside the pose chamber. After the fourth exposure, an internal mechanical carrier lowers the exposed paper strip through chemical baths of developer, stop, fixer, and water wash before delivering the damp print into the exterior delivery tray after three to five minutes. Hold the strip by its outer borders for the first few minutes so the warm silver-halide emulsion can harden cleanly without fingerprints.
For the sharpest exposures in Long Beach, set the rotating stool height so your eyes align with the center of the optical mirror or framing mark before dropping coins or tapping a card, and stay within roughly 60 to 80 centimeters of the glass where the fixed-focus lens is calibrated. Because freshly processed silver-gelatin strips emerge slightly damp from the final wash tank, let the strip air-dry flat for 10 to 15 minutes before sliding it into a pocket, wallet, or acid-free archival sleeve.
