I LOVE ocean life (octopi and jellies in particular) and this is hands-down my favorite Aquarium in the States! I visited for the very first time 5-6 years ago and could not wait to return during my next visit to Northern CA. A group of friends joined me during my recent visit and we thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of Monterey, the exhibits, and several tours. The Monterey Bay Aquarium is unlike many aquariums. They preach about conservation and sustainability to help make our planet a better place (check out their Seafood Watch program -- it's really awesome!).

If you're considering a visit, seriously do not hesitate!
