Monterey Bay Aquarium
A Karen Brown Recommendation

The premier attraction in Monterey is the adjacent Monterey Bay Aquarium. The centerpieces of the Aquarium are the huge glass tanks that showcase the underwater world of the local offshore marine habitat from the diverse tidepools to the multitude of life in the Monterey Bay: one tank is populated by huge sharks and colorful schools of fish while another contains a mature kelp forest teeming with fish. The Outer Bay exhibit, a vast tank of water representative of the outer ocean, brings a new dimension to the Aquarium and leaves the visitor with a memorable impression of just how little is known about that massive body of water. The aquarium has recently been in the news for successfully keeping two great white sharks alive in captivity. (www.montereybayaquarium.org, 831-648-4888)
