Monterey Bay Aquarium – Jellyfish, Otters & Sharks, Oh My!

Monterey Bay Aquarium is perhaps the most celebrated aquarium in the U.S. and for good reason. Not only are there rare animals and other sea life on display, but all you have to do is walk outside and look out on Monterey Bay to see an area that is teeming with life because it’s a protected sanctuary.

Inside, you’ll see rare comb jellyfish that light up in rainbow colors from within, squid, and a giant Pacific octopus. There’s a wonderful kelp forest exhibit, as well as sea otters that you could watch playing for hours without a moment of getting bored.

Take a look at my photos below from my visit to the Aquarium, and you’ll see why you need to go there the next time you’re in this part of California.

Comb jellies must be the most fascinating animal on the planet. I had always wanted to see one of these animals that generates its own inner light, and I finally got my chance at Monterey Bay Aquarium. The rainbow lights moved up and down within the animals and changed colors. Truly miraculous.
