All you need to know ↓🐟 🐳 @montereybayaquarium isn’t just one of America’s most iconic aquariums - it’s the real-life inspiration behind Disney’s Finding Dory ✨ Originally built in a former sardine cannery on Cannery Row, the aquarium now houses around 35,000 marine animals across 550 species - from otters to jellyfish tanks and a massive kelp forest. 💰 Admission is $65 for adults, $50 for youth, and family combo deals are available when booking online in advance. 🦦 Don’t miss their standout exhibits: the stunning Sea Otter Habitat, serene Kelp Forest, captivating Jelly Gallery, and the giant Open Sea tank. 🎬 Expect to recognize elements from Finding Dory - Pixar designers mirrored tank layouts, color palettes, lighting and even backstage details from the real aquarium in their animated Marine Life Institute. ⏰ I think it’s worth spending a whole day here and around historic Cannery Row. Personally I wouldn’t reccomend spending less than 3 hours in the aquarium as there’s so much to see. 📍Monterey Bay Aquarium, 886 Cannery Row, Monterey, CA 93940 #MontereyBayAquarium #FindingDory #MarineLifeInstitute #FindingDoryAquarium #FindingNemoAquarium
