Considered one of the best aquariums in the WORLD. Monterey is an hour and a half south of us but if you are up for a serious day trip and the hefty admission price (49 for adults and 29 for kids age 3-12, under 3 is free) - this aquarium cannot be beat. Take 17 south and route 1 for the scenic drive.
