I never miss the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It is simply awesome and unlike any aquarium you'd ever see...I mean, it's got to be the best in the world, or at least in the top 3. They have a deep ocean tank that's got huge sunfish and sharks in it...they even kept a Great White (juvenile) in it for a bit (released now). It's quite a drive down More...

The Monterey Bay Aquarium is a family friendly Aquarium that has lots of great kids activities. This aquarium is in an old fish cannery. It’s pretty cool and they even left some of the old factory equipment in place. Here you will see everything from clown fish to sharks, and even giant sea turtles. They are now featuring a great white More...

This is a very cool place to go for a day. This is an awesome aquarium. They have such a wide array of fish and sea animals. The jellyfish tank is so amazing. I could sit there for hours watching those beautiful creatures. They also have a huge tank which house some tuna. You need to watch those fish swim. More...

When we go to Monterey to visit, this is our first stop. I absolutely love visiting this aquairum. I never feel like I've seen everything there is to see here and that's a great feeling. Even though we don't have children my husband and I love going here, it's definetly for adults as well as children. You can just sit and watch the giant Tuna More...

This is an awesome aquarium and it is a neat place to visit whether you are a kid or an adult. It will give you a whole day of entertainment because it is so darn big. Actually, it is a little overwhelming and it is sometimes a good idea to get your hand stamped and go shop for a little while on Cannery Row and then come back. It gets extremely More...

This is worth a visit if you’re in Monterey or the surrounding area. They have an amazing display of jellyfish right now that is fascinating. Other favorites included the Splash Zone and penguins and the sea otters. Make sure you get over to the deep water to see the huge fish! There is a ton of hands-on stuff for the kids, but adults More...

We were in Monterey with the kids for three wonderful days. This aquarium isn't what I would call just an acquarium, but a labor of love by one of the scions of the Hewlett-Packard clan.

What makes it amazing? First, the exhibits are out of this world. For instance, they have a million gallon tank where tuna can really go 40 mph around More...

Amy L. says:

This aquarium is the best around and anyone passing through Monterey should spend a day there. The exhibits are amazing and they often add new ones. There are various hands on exhibits for the kids. Located right on the water in Monterey the facilities are very impressive. Don't rush through as there many one-of-a-kind tanks here. More...

We stopped by here one day during a tour of California, and I was amazed by everything I saw. This aquarium is amazing. They have everything a kid (and adult) would want to see. All the information that is provided is great, and you always learn something when you're there. I could spend days there and never get bored. I recommend this More...

Laura W. says:

The city of Monterey is a beautiful area in and of itself, but when we're in town we always make a visit to the aquarium. We love to go outside and see the natural tide pools. But it's really the jellyfish are the most amazing. I never could have imagined all the different shapes, sizes and colors that these come in. The whole visit is really More...
