Underwater exhibits of life in Monterey Bay; touch pools, educational programs.

Ummm, $26 entry fee? $20 for a parking spot? You'd expect big things yeah? I guess this place would be well-wicked if you were a kid but as an adult it wasn't exactly life-changing. The Wing Chong building and the doc's old house up the street (from Steinbecks Cannery Row book) made the trip worthwhile..

Great family destination...or, for us educators, an awesome field trip!!!!!!!! Many different activities are offered. Lto sto see! Play areas for the little ones and interesting exhibts for the mom and dad! Go there soon!
