Memory of Monterey Bay Aquarium

The New Year is well on the way and I’m slowly getting myself back into the swing of things after 10 days vacation with my family in California.
It was a very memorable Christmas, despite the cold and rainy days. Our first trip was to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It is an amazing place to visit, and I would like to recommend it to everyone.

Like any other attractions, the admission price is high, $25.95 for adult, $15.95 for kid, and children under 3 is free. You need to plan to spend the whole day here to explore the whole aquarium.

Make sure you catch the jellyfish show before seeing the exhibit. Here, you will be marvel at the beauty of nature.

There are many other areas in the Monterey Bay Aquarium to explore, such as the coral reef, giant tanks of tuna fish, and a hand on exhibit, where children can touch star fish, plus other creatures from the ocean.

The Aquarium also allows its patrons to leave the premise to go outside for lunch, and come back to finish their visit. We took advantage of this opportunity, took a short walk on the main street, and had lunch after we had our hands stamped.
Coming from Michigan, I was amazed at the blooming flowers even though it was cold. We ate at a restaurant call Louie Linguini, which offers a full view of the ocean, and the food was delicious.

If you have a chance to go to California, put Monterey Bay Aquarium on your agenda. You will be glad to see the Aquarium, and have a wonderful memory.
