Kids free age 12 and under
I am in the same dilemma. (2) tickets for me and son plus parking, that's almost $100.
Pondering about using that to buy corals. Only advantage to go to the show are to see corals in person to select what we like and other cool items.

Anyway, if I can find yellow/Neon green octo/frogspawn and yellow torch (banana) with reasonable price next few days then I will skip it.

Kids are free up to age 12 I think
That's really nice to have kids 12 and under free. I like that. I always try to bring kid and their friends to get their interest into ocean, animal and saltwater. Hope it spark interest in future to have their own tank. Obviously, I'm the crazy one with like 4-5 kids (only 2 are mine LOL) running around, and going nuts.

I might drop by with my kids if I'm bored this weekend. Would be cool to see some of the people I see on youtube in real life.

Plus it’s a good time to be inside with ac since it’s hot outside

Vandetta Corals booth
Will be selling berghia. I’ll be making $ vials
Depending on the size depends on how many come in the vial
*sm-med per vial
*med-lg per vial
*two XL and One lg in the third type of vial
Supplies are limited so first come first serve on what they’ll have. I’m not holding for anyone as they are selling them I’m suppling them.

I'll probably be there both days. I'm not looking to buy anything, unless John has a unique clam or two? I'll be hanging around the Golden State Corals booth most likely. Looking forward to seeing and chatting with anyone local. I'll be the guy wearing the "Reef Beef" shirt on Saturday.

Thank you guys for pointing out it is at the Marriot this time, I just assumed it was at the Hilton again, does anyone know what they are charging for parking?

Guys, park at Angels Stadium (free on non game day, and Angels is not playing this weekend). Take the Line 50 bus (comes every 30 minutes), it's a 11 min ride. Or just Uber from there. The bus takes you directly behind the Anaheim convention center.

I've been to several large conventions there for work, and this is the way.

Anyways, it'll be super hot tomorrow, so I can see how waiting for the bus outside may be a problem. Need to bring styrofoam boxes for the corals or something to keep cool.

Here is what the Marriott is showing for parking on their website.

Surprised They wouldn’t start looking into other venues for this event. There quite a few other options in the area where there is free parking available. I get why most might skip the event when it’s $72 just to get through the door.



Additional Parking Information
Daily Visitor Self-Parking (up to 24 hours) is $42 and Valet is $46. Bus Parking is $175. Tax additional

So I can save 42 by taking the bus, wow sign me up. Thanks for the tip Jimbo.
Hopefully it is not to long of a walk my mobility hasn't been the greatest for the last 2 years.
