Fun place to go and learn details about a lot of different animals and plants. It was exciting to see a sunfish! The outside part is another show! more

I have taken several road trips to central california and this has been something I have always wanted to see. I finally got the chance to go last week and I was not disappointed at all. It is the best aquarium I have been to. They have some amazing displays (espeically the jelly fish and sea otters)! We arrived at... more

This was the reason for our trip to Monterey and we were not disappointed. There are so many amazing things to see. You cannot even capture the beauty of these creatures with a camera--you have to see them up close for yourself. There were many hands on exhibits for the kids to play with. It was very crowded which made... more

This was a highlight of our trip in the USA. The displays were lovely, the jellies especially. It was busy, some displays were hard to see because of the crowds but by waiting a few minutes it was fine. We would go back again no problem. We were happy to pay the price. The Staff were nice too!! more

We visited in mid-April, 2008; and spent many hours there. Though I'm not big on zoos, etc...feeling that animals and all belong in their natural habitat; this aquarium does an excellent job of presenting marine life in seemingly well thought out settings. There are many activities for children in particular to enjoy, but adults were more than fascinated too. I've... more

Fabulous!!! The Jellies were my favorite but the otters and the HUGE tuna were fascinating too. A world class facility. I would recommend the Monterey Aquarium to anyone.Outstanding experience. i loved the presentations in the auditorium, just the right length to be informative but not overbearing. Staff was highly knowledgeable. more

Monterey Bay Aquarium is a fun place to go if you have kids, otherwise not worth the price. My husband and I visited after encouragement and rave reviews from a friend and in the end wished we hadn't spent the $46 ($23 per person). In my opinion, if you've seen one aquarium, you've seen them all. To me, there was... more

Having always heard good things about the Monterey aquarium I finally got a chance to visit in June 2007. At first we thought the price was quite a lot but after we had spent 3 hours wondering around there was far more than we expected and it was worth every cent. There are a lot of different things to see... more

This aquarium is fantastic. We brought the kids here specifically to see the great white they had at the time. I was a little leary of the price (for four of us it was upwards of $80), especially compared to the Aquairum of the Pacific, but I found that it was absolutely worth it. Every one of us in the... more
