Visit the Monterey Museum of Art to find one museum with two locations. The Pacific Street location houses permanent collections that are the heart and soul of artists who flocked to the city in the late 19th century, while the La Mirada location houses modern collections from around the world.

Kids rule at My Museum! The museum is dedicated to kids and lets them touch tons of cool stuff at hands-on exhibits and attractions like My Day at the Beach, My Imagination Tree, My Go-Fore Golf, My Hospital, My Creation Station, My Theater, My Town Hall, My Healthy Farm and more.

Look for Shamu on the Princess Monterey Whale Watching Tours, Monterey´s number one narrated ocean tour attraction specializing in biology marine wildlife, especially whales. The cruise offers families the chance to see a Gray Whale, Humpback Whale, Blue Whale, Fin Whale, Beaked Whales and even an Orca Whale like Shamu!

Boo! The Ghost Tour of Old Monterey begins at some of the city's most notoriously haunted buildings. Tour a scary path that follows recent and historical ghostly sightings at the oldest church in California, Monterey´s historic cemetery, and old legendary adobes to relive the stories of their haunting inhabitants.
