My kids were so in love with the aquarium. They just couldn't get enough of the water and all the new animals. It was money well spent. I would definitely go there again and again, I don't think my children could ever get tired of it. I know I had a blast and will gladly spend the money again. What made this place so child friendly was that nothing was in grabbing distance and my kids could walk right up to the glass and be so close to the animals. I wasn't even very anxious! This was a place for families of all ages to enjoy. I would recommend this place to families but just a tip, be prepared for tired feet and tired kids by the end of the day!
The Monterey Bay Aquarium is a must for the whole family. I took my children here and they talk about it all the time. The exhibits are great and the children are able to interact with a lot of them. There are also shows that are really enjoyable to watch for people of all ages. My families favorite was activity was to watch the penguins. It was so fun to get watch the animals in their natural environment. You were able to watch the amazing interaction which is something you never get to see. This is the most uniques place I have ever been. There is a glass wall so you can even see the penguins swimming under the water. This is a very crowded place, but I really recommend going. There is also a little food section inside, but I would say eat before or after because the food is pretty expensive and it tastes such like cafeteria food.
