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.

Monterey Bay is the most beautiful bay in central California, and along California Highway 1 from San Francisco to the south of more than 100 kilometers, you can reach the famous marine protected area of California Monterey Bay. The coastline walkway is 30 kilometers long and can see seagulls, sea lions and various seabirds.
Monterey Bay is located on the Pacific coast of California, USA, between the two major cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles. Monterey Canyon is one of the largest underwater canyons in the world, and Asilomar State Marine Sanctuary is a marine sanctuary in Monterey Bay. Like underwater parks, these marine sanctuaries help protect marine wildlife and marine ecosystems.
