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.

    Friendly welcome from Sanjay at the front desk. We had a newly refurbished room which was spacious and beautifully decorated. Bathroom also spacious. Lots of plugs and USB ports. Excellent location - short stroll to Cannery Row and Monterey Bay Aquarium and right next to antique mall. Breakfast was simple (with many pre-made products) but adequate.
