I have been going to the Monterey Bay Aquarium since I can remember. Seriously, I was really little when i first started going. I go at least once a year and i never get tired of seeing all the fish and learning about the ocean and it's creatures. It has something for all age groups. There is a section for little kids and the rest of the aquarium for everyone. There are lots of exhibits,shops,there is a cafe, balconies, fish, activities,many things to do and see! My personal favorite is the Sea Otter Exhibit.

You definitely have to visit if you live in California. They have the biggest live aquarium around (if not the world) and the area itself is just a great place to spend a weekend.

It's hard to imagine childhood science classes without the occasional field trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. They have wonderful exhibits and hands-on opportunities for kids (and adults) of all ages.
