If you've never been to this place I highly recommend it. It's one of the world's best aquariums that just happens to be in the birthplace of marine biology. Dr Edward Ricketts, lovingly referred to as doc by Steinbeck in the book Cannery Row. This aquarium sits inside the old cannery itself, right along the water, making use of the natural tidal cycles, enabling them to keep animals that generally aren't able to be kept in captivity because of the unique natural quality of the habitat itself. This is a must visit on your next trip to Monterey.
