All About the Monterey Bay Aquarium

Ranked #13,437 in Travel & Places, #325,891 overall

When you visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium, you'll be making memories for you and your family. Just check out the featured video about the Monterey Bay Aquarium below. You'll also find a description of the Aquarium and the fish, mammals, and plant life you'll see there.

You'll be able to walk underwater in a kelp forest, watch the sea otters, and get so close to sharks that you'll think you can reach out and touch them.

There's lots to see and do in Monterey besides the Aquarium. You can go to a Blues Festival, walk the beaches, take a plane ride along the shore line, go for a drive to Big Sur, and even take a trip to the Hearst Castle.

Make your trip to Monterey more memorable by picking up a few good books from Amazon too. You'll see a selection about the kelp forests, gray whales, sharks, rays, sea otters, and seals. Then take your cameras and get your own pictures at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and along the California coast.
