It's easily the best aquarium I've ever been to. The otters are the star of the place and are in a 2 story exhibit in the center on the building. They're adorable!

It's in a great location. It's right on Monterey Bay. I believe that one of the places they perform live shows is connected to the aquarium, but outside and basically in Monterey Bay.

So, why only 3 stars? Holy cow is it expensive! $50 for an adult. $30 for my 6 year old. AAA discount? Sure - if you buy it from AAA. No such discount at the point of sale.

Also, the cafeteria is undersized, overpriced chaos.

If you're going to go, don't be a dummy like me - plan ahead! Bring a lunch and eat before you get there. Go to AAA first and buy your tickets there. Then, enjoy the best aquarium in America!
