Crowded and expensive, but you must see this aquarium, it's worth it. It's one of the best in the world. The exhibits are educational and informative Great for kids and families. There is a gift shop and cafe. You will spend hours here, and if you want some air, just walk outside and enjoy the view, but if you leave the aquarium get your hand stamped for quick re-entry. Monterey itself is beautiful and you will enjoy the city and the restaurants they have. The bay and wildlife are right in front of you, you will see sea otters, sea lions and even whales. Gorgeous place and you should see it at least once in your lifetime. Go! Preferably on a weekday when the crowds are not as huge.
