Take a Trip Under The Sea at Monterey Bay Aquarium

Excellent visit. Very expensive. Pack your own lunch, chicken tenders and fries were $26. Juices were $12. Outlandish. All that being said. Would highly recommend the visit. Otters were awesome and the presentation on the rescue otter was very cool. Small sharks in main tank were cool. Lots of very cool jellies. Great views from the observation deck. Very friendly staff.

We really enjoyed our visit to Monterey Bay Aquarium. The exhibits are beautiful, well maintained, and there is plenty to see for both kids and adults. We especially enjoyed watching the sea otters and exploring the large ocean exhibits. The aquarium does a great job of showcasing marine life and making the experience educational and engaging. The only downside is the price. Admission for a family adds up quickly, which kept it from being a five-star experience for us. That said, we still had a great time and are glad we visited. If you’re prepared for the cost, it’s a fun and memorable stop in Monterey. 🦦🌊🐠😊

Amazing! I took my family here on a Thursday afternoon and we had a great time. The facility is large and clean. There are so many attractions. This is definitely the best aquarium I've ever been to. I loved the jellyfish, they all appear to glow with the way they set up the tanks and it's absolutely mesmerizing. I have a two month old and he loved staring at all the fish. There's also a nursing lounge with a bottle warmer, sink, rocking chairs and dividers for nursing and bottle feeding infants. Extremely family friendly. We will definitely be going back! 🐠🦈🦦

I have not been here in over 22 years or so and it has a few good changes but otherwise it's the same. There's a little more to look at, the "Into the Deep" joystick game is new to me that was cool. There were extra jellyfish and more interactive tide pools as well. There's a lot of learn and I was so impressed by all of the associates friendliness. They were all willing to educate everyone and answer any questions we had. The restrooms were nice and clean. I will say the cafe area is welcoming with awesome views of the ocean but there are better places to eat. I definitely recommend bringing your children if you can. This place is very much catered to families and children on school field trips.

Phenomenal experience. The ticket is a bit pricey, but it's worth what you'll see and do at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. This place truly is magical, and you can see their amazing work in animal care and preservation, while trying to teach the next generation and be environmentally friendly. Very kid-friendly- accessible door for strollers are easy to maneuver and park, and they have a nursing room, very good rest room which is a nice touch! Lots of accessible ramps doors and elevators- easy to maneuver wheelchairs if needed. It is Very crowded even on weekdays many weekends getting more busy but definitely still enjoyable! They have lots of room to be able to see the feedings they offer. I highly recommend! We Spent 2 hours to complete the tours. It Great family place to have time and create memories, friendly activity, and their animals are amazing. We enjoy our time and visiting Monterey Bay aquarium.
