The Monterey Bay Aquarium, ranked as one of the world's top aquariums and one of the best places for kids and families!
The "Splash Zone" galleries feature penguins, seahorses and other creatures, and many interactive exhibits for children ages 0-12.
Families can learn together about ocean animals, and what they can do to help. Also fun for kids are several "touch pools" where they can get their hands wet touching animals that live on California's rocky shores like sea cucumbers, anemones and sea stars.
The three-story kelp forest, enormous tuna in the Outer Bay and ethereal jellies inspire awe from visitors of all ages. And inspiring conservation of the ocean is the mission of this non-profit aquarium.
