First purchase on here and the ticket sounded almost too good to be true. Took my chance on them, and they worked without issue. Got scanned into the aquarium and had a blast with the kiddo. Took a family of 5 for the price of 2 people. Very good deal. Will buy from again.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium was a birthday gift from David Packard (co-founder of Hewlett-Packard) to his daughter, Julie Packard, who is still the Executive Director of the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
