Monterey Aquauriam
 
I would LOVE to visit this aquariam. However I would like to consider the budget's of my traveling companions as well as my own, are there any discounts available for this aquariam. Such as AAA or the like?

Have you checked with your hotel to see if they offer tickets with your stay or tickets at a reduced rate? Many area hotels have a package which includes tickets.

www.montereyaquarium.org has a list of the hotels offering packages that include admission to the aquarium. It's a great place, I hope you enjoy it! ***kim*** ((*))

Thanks for the tips! However, I will be staying with a friend who lives in San Jose. Any other suggestions?

Sorry, don't know of any discounts but I urge you to go to the Aquarium even if you have to pay full price as it is really worth seeing. Good luck!

i believe that there are AAA discounts...when I went last year, I think we got in with that...either way, it's an amazing aquarium

Thank you. I'll check it out.

If you really want to go, and can afford it, depending on how many companions are traveling with you you might also consider buying a one-year membership at a level that will include some free (reusable) guest cards.

I forgot to add that a portion of the membership is also tax deductible.

Here's a link to their page on buying tickets:

I managed to snag free guest passes from friends in San Jose! Thanks for all your help!
