Monterey Bay Aquarium

This aquarium resides where sardine factories once stood. Now, the site harbours an ocean’s worth of species. The main exhibit’s huge single-pane window is all that stands between you and four million litres of water. Watch schools of fish scuttle away from lurking sharks and lurching turtles. For fur-filled underwater acrobatics, swing by the sea otter zone at feeding time.

    the aquarium is beautiful and the sea life is amazing but they don't limit the number of people in so you are packed in like sardines the whole time with people elbowing you. You have to push in and wait in lines to see every exhibit.

    Took my 83 year old mother to the aquarium and we had a delightful day! Would strongly recommend arriving early! We had to make reservations before going and opted for the earliest entrance and were so happy we did because were able to get in quickly, get a wheel chair easily and had no problem manuevering around crowds. By early afternoon there were many people and we were done by 3 in the afternoon and were able to go eat down the street afterwards.

    Loved visiting the aquarium.

    Loved visiting the aquarium. The sea otters alone would make it worthwhile to visit. Got some interesting views of the deep water environment and the strange sea life that inhabits. Close to some very good restaurants.

    Really pleased with this visit.

    Really pleased with this visit. One of the biggest aquariums I have been to. Feeding the sea offers was fun. Feeding time in the huge aquarium with deep sea fish was very entertaining. The other exhibits were fun. Disappointingly there were no sea turtles despite there being pictorial information available.

    Think about getting membership before you Go.

    Think about getting membership before you Go. You will want to return! You can spend the day or enter and get stamped and return later in the day. They have movies and lots of shows featuring certain animals feeding.
