the Monterey Bay Aquarium shows the creatures of the oceans in style. There are also many interactive displays and even a remote display that pipes pictures from a deep sea submarine off the coast. A highlight of the aquarium is the Outer Bay exhibit that mimics the open ocean in a million-gallon tank with a single display window 54 feet long, 15 feet high, and 13 inches thick.
While you're in the area, tour a little history at the Carmel Mission...
