Monterey Bay Aquarium - Monterey (CA)

5 /5 Terrie Snell: This place is Amazing!! It is absolutely beautiful. It is so neat and clean. The exhibits are very impressive. The vibrant colors of some are awe-inspiring. There is definitely plenty to see and do. All of the children that I observed seemed to be really enjoying themselves. I definitely will be back!

5 /5 Iffat Bhuiyan: Buy your tickets ahead of time!! And make sure if you go to wear good walking shoes and take some snacks. We went during a very busy weekend and waited about 40 minutes just to get in. The dark exhibits are alittle difficult especially based on how many kids are there so just be mindful. Really enjoyed the jellyfish exhibits.

5 /5 Chris Curtin: Well this is the place to take the kids. Our kids were under 4 so they were both free. We got there right before opening and we walked right in. We went to the Deep ocean first and then the jelly fish room I called. So much for the kids to see, big enough to where I didnt feel crowded. The snack bar and cafe was really good, just pricey so be aware of that. It adds up fast but they had a ton of food. Good options for kids but a wide variety for adults too. Alcohol sold there as well. They had scuba lessons for you to sign up if you wanted to go in. The touch pools were good for the kids. I think my kids will appreciate it when they are older. The gift shops were great, a TON of stuffed animals of all types for the kids to choose. Good hat and shirt options too. Dont forget to walk down Canery Row after. Good beach right down the way!

4 /5 Adrianne Nunez: Had an absolute blast with my family! I loved seeing all the cool fish and other sea life! Only things I would love to see as an adult that may make the adult experience a little better is if they maybe had a 2 hour block period where it’s 18+? I don’t know if they do something like this or not but as cute as the children are it can be challenging walking around when they’re running around in front of you. Also maybe some fans or something because it did get a bit warm in there, other than that it was an amazing time!
