Monterey Bay Aquarium Pictures

Turn left after you enter to reach the kelp forest. Housed in a two-story-tall tank, this recreation of the bay outside shows you what it's like to be on the bay floor, watching the kelp sway hypnotically while fish swarm around you. This exhibit is very popular with children.

Twice a day, a diver enters the exhibit to feed the fish. You'll find the feeding times posted on the wall beside the exhibit, printed on your map or posted at the information desk. Arrive about half an hour ahead of time if you want to sit down and get the best view.
