Spend time hiking in one of our many local state parks. Take a horseback ride or visit the zoo. Cool off in the wading pools or take walks on the beach. Introduce your children to art, natural history, oceanography or history at one of our many fine museums or science centers.

 

Visit a working marine laboratory. Exhibit halls, aquarium, touch tanks, tours to marine mammal research overlook, Ocean Discovery Shop, and unsurpassed vistas of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Hold a sea star - marvel at the world's largest whale skeleton - see full-size elephant seal sculptures - think like a scientist!
