Monterey Bay is a large aquarium located in Monterey, CA, on the shore line of the Pacific Ocean. It holds thousands of plants and animals representing 623 separate named species. The aquarium benefits by a high circulation of fresh ocean water which is obtained through pipes which pump it in continuously from Monterey Bay. There are many exhibits and tanks to explore and there is also a deck that you can go out onto and watch the otters in the water below. The exhibits have everything from jellyfish to sharks.
My family and I visited Monterey Bay years ago when we were in California visiting family. I was probably around 13 years old and still remember how amazing it was. I personally love aquariums and would love to go back one day. The aquarium is so cool because of its many tanks and exhibits. There are even small open tanks that have things such as starfish in them that you are allowed to touch and hold. I thought it was pretty cool that I got to hold a live starfish. Also, it’s really cool that the aquarium is right on the shore. As you see in the picture bellow, there is a large deck that people can go out on to watch the otters as well.
It’s a really nice aquarium with so many cool things to see. I highly recommend going there one day and I myself hope to get back to the aquarium one day as well.
