Living in Contra Costa County: Monterey Bay Aquarium

Monterey Bay Aquarium

Monterey Bay AquariumMonterry Bay Aquarium Jelly Fish

Three of my boys are home schooled and Monterey Bay had the Home School Day on Monday November 2.  So we packed up four of the boys (the other is in Public School) and headed down Sunday afternoon for a fun night at the Hotel first.

Public School day is FREE which put this right in out price range.  The kids loved it especially the sea otters.  The big hype is on the Sea Horse exhibit which I felt was so so.  There is a large tank with sharks, big tunas, barracudas and a number of other fish.

Most of the fish are salt water, but they did have some nice looking trout; wish I had my rod and a fry pan; but they probably would have tossed me out.

What I did not know is there is a huge underwater canyon that goes 2 miles down right off the Monterey coast.  The average depth of the world's oceans is 2.5 miles so what they have is an area with multiple habitats they can study close by.

Gene,

Sounds like a pretty fun field trip. I've never been to the Aquarium in Monterey, but I sure love the city! Glad you and your family had a nice time. Great pictures!
