Monterey Bay Aquarium is in Monterey, California and it is known as one of the West's most popular destinations. There is one disadvantage of this and that is the long lines and the daily crowds, so here is where this article is going to give you a head up on how to beat that.

Plan your trip so that you can arrive in time to go the aquarium one hour before closing, the ticket lines have vanished and the crowd tends to be thinning out, at this time you can buy a pass for the following day and take a mini stroll around for a sneak preview of the park. Head for the sea otters, Kelp Forest and the Outer Bay; these are some of the most popular exhibits and you can get an up close view of them this time of the day and then come back the next day – all day, to enjoy the rest of the park. No standing in the ticket line as you have your passes in hand.

You find that you just don't have time for the day before preview and ticket purchasing, go online thru your Personal Travel Website and buy your tickets online and print them out at home and/or at your hotel.
