Are you looking to Purchase Monterey Bay Aquarium Tickets? Follow a couple of these simple pointers to save yourself some time and stress!
Buying your tickets to one the best aquariums in the world seems rather simple.
Walk up to the entrance, buy your ticket and be on with it. Right? Wrong.
Save yourself some time and agony and don’t take your chances with buying your Monterey Aquarium tickets at the door.
Sounds strange right? Well stranger things have happened.
Peak season is even more disastrous. I once walked by and saw the line literally around the block when a Monterey Aquarium official came out to let everybody know that "the aquarium was sold out". I’m not kidding, SOLD OUT!
So what that meant was that those poor folks had to wait in line until people trickled out of the Monterey Aquarium while standing out in the sun.
And from what I saw, it was a very slow trickle of people leaving the aquarium that day which meant the line was moving very, very slowly.
Pictured above.

This won’t happen to you, you have me as your guide 😉 The tips I provide below will all you to enjoy the Monterey Bay Aquarium to the fullest!

Check with your Hotel for aquarium tickets.
Many local hotels not only sell tickets, but some even offer a 2 days for the price of one
