World renowned, the Monterey Bay Aquarium is the place to visit while vacationing along the coastline. Some of my best memories are of visiting here. Walk through the dim jelly-fish corridor with many tanks of luminscent, pulsating jellyfish. Visit the petting area where you can hold a live sea cucumber (VERY weird feeling) and touch a starfish. Then walk over and try to touch the rays that swim smoothly around in a large tank. This is amazing and kids will love a visit here... oh, and be sure to say hi to the penguins!
