The Monterey Bay Aquarium is an incredible place to visit. This aquarium first opened when I was a kid and we stood in line for hours for the chance to visit. These days the lines are not as long but the experience just gets better and better. The best thing about this aquarium is that there is something for everyone in the family and it will be a trip to remember. Babies will be entraced by the fish tanks, kids will love the touch pools where they can feel a starfish as well as the "Splash Zone" which is a special area for kids with exhibits, activities, and even a slide, teenagers might be inspired for a future career and along with adults will love everything! Visit the "Buy Tickets Now" link on the aquarium website to buy tickets in advance and avoid standing in line. If you would like to experience the aquarium from your computer check out the web cams (the pengium cam is my favorite!)
