This place is simply magical and inspiring - easily the best aquarium I've ever been to. The exhibits are well crafted, engaging and superbly explained. The fish and other sea creatures they have are magnificent. The exhibits in the "open sea" section are particularly mesmerizing. Make sure to attend the feeding in both the open sea and the kelp forest aquariums, which have set times every day. Both were incredible and unforgettable, especially the former. I love how the whole Aquarium also opens onto the Monterey Bay. On one terrace, they have various telescopes trained on the wildlife that's out in the Bay and someone on hand to give explanations. In fact, there are volunteers throughout the Aquarium ready to tell you cool stories and enchant the kids. The theater also hosts great and engaging presentations regularly. And the cafe is brilliant. Basically, this place is must-visit and totally world class. It is inspiring and carrying a vital mission of raising awareness of the need to care for our oceans.
