Monterey Bay Aquarium: Seafood Watch Program

This place is absolutely amazing. Pretty crowded during the weekends but still worth a visit. I will recommend planning a whole day visit here instead of just couple of hours as this place is huge and you will want to spend a good amount of time looking at everything. Being able to view several sea creatures up close in person was amazing, things which I never thought I would ever see. This place is also great for kids, as you get to learn a lot of new things and peak their curiosity.

Cool place, with a lot of information and interesting exhibits. But some of the displays really affect you as an empathetic person. More than one is fish swimming in a circle all day. I'm sure it mimmicks a constant migration some go through in the wild, and to the average NPC looks stunning, but one can't help to find the confinement a bit cruel. Of course I don't have the whole story, if the fish go to larger aquariums , etc.

Monterry Bay aquarium was fun day. it has a bunch of marine creatures.. as well some aviary and wetland ecosystem beings as well. The jelly fish and into the deep section is really good with games for kids to interact and learn. Would take easily 3+ hours with kids. Has no outside food/drink policy. Buy tickets online to avoid excessive wait.

This place was awesome. My wife needed a wheelchair and the staff and employees were so helpful and friendly had a great time. Would definitely recommend everyone going there.

Bring the entire family for this. I was traveling by myself withput the kids, but they would have loved to see the jellyfish exhibit. Great diversity of sea life exhibit. I really enjoyed the sea otter 🦦 feeding and storytelling. The deep sea section was very cool. Staff was friendly, great cafe overlooking the harbor.

Can you imagine what it's like under the sea? There's a whole other world we barely know about. Here at the aquarium they're discovering new species, protecting endangered ones, and showcasing so many different ones. Talk about color and grace underwater! Experience the Lord's gift of natural and unexplained beauty here and you'll be so glad you did. The food here is great, bring your own straw if you can remember. They use use paper ones which don't work that well with their slushies in glass jars (bonus).

It's expensive, but very well done. I'm not sure if it's really worth $65 for seniors 65-70, or $50 for over 70. (I'd suggest the senior price begin at 60 and over 75 be free.) Mobility becomes an issue, so older folks may not see everything. However, if you can walk well, it's a very cool couple of hours.

This is a great place to take the kids where they can learn to love the ocean. The exhibits are well planned and Curators are posted throughout the venue to help with your questions.

so, besides coffee shops, the most checked into places that i see on Yelp are sushi places and, guess what? the ocean is dying, just like most of our planet and our resources and for sure romance, but that's a whole 'nother thing so, to people with wealth: if you like eating sushi, DONATE HERE if you like eating fish, DONATE HERE, LISTEN TO WHAT THEY'RE SAYING or else it all goes away if you like swimming, having an ocean, etc, start friggin taking care of it, again or else just like with people, if you don't value them, if you only value dollar bills, that's all that you're gonna have left when the bubble bursts, cuz guess what, it's about to burst RIGHT NOW: no tuna no shrimp no salmon OR ELSE YOU DON'T GET IT IN THE FUTURE contribute to a sustainable life and renewable energy OR ELSE YOU DON'T GET THIS MAGICAL LAND & LIFE IN THE FUTURE God/The Universe/Creator only created so much water and if 80 people control most of it, billions are going to die and i don't have to tell ya that that ain't right, kid figure out that money doesn't really matter that much, that the best things in life are free, and that you have to have to have to VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET for people and businesses like The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Program that actually take care of our land and our people OR ELSE IT ALL GOES AWAY . . . peace www.seafoodwatch.org
