1<\/b>. Monterey Bay Aquarium. <\/b>Located on the site of the former Cannery Row sardine factory, the Monetery Bay Aquarium\u2019s tanks are enriched by water directly from Monterey Bay, which lies right outside the aquarium doors. Many exhibits of coastal California marine life include a multi-level tank that showcases a California giant Kelp ecosystem, and the million-gallon Open Seas gallery with huge view windows. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Aquarium is especially known for its exhibit of sea otters, and on view now is the newest member, Abby, a 5-year old female who was rescued as a newborn by the Santa Barbara Marine Mammal Rescue Center and hand-raised at Sea World San Diego. All reports are that Abby is happily settling in to her new home. <\/span><\/p>\n

A special Summer experience is Evenings by the Bay every Saturday and Sunday, June 30 \u2013 September 2. Have a complimentary taste of Estancia wine, munch on hor d\u2019oeuvres and listen to live jazz, all included with your regular Aquarium admission. <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Sea Life London Aquarium.<\/b> There is so much going on in London this year that there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll find yourself in Merry Old England. Head to the London Eye (you can\u2019t miss it), and right next door is a premier aquarium, where a new glass shark reef walk way will give you a close up look at 16 brown sharks and black-tipped reef sharks. The shark reef, \u201ca celebration of one of nature\u2019s most magnificent and most misunderstood creatures,\u201d spans three floors and is dominated by a selection of imposing Easter Island statues. <\/span><\/p>\n

You won\u2019t want to miss the myth-busting Shark Academy, where you\u2019ll learn such things as why coconuts can be more deadly than sharks. <\/span><\/p>\n

3. Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Center<\/b>. British Columbia\u2019s rich coastal waters can be explored at this aquarium which sits inside the city\u2019s famous Stanley Park. \u201cThe Treasures of the B.C. Coast\u201d exhibit will introduce you to the astonishing array of cold-water marine life that live in nearby waters, including a Pacific giant octopus, cold-water coral, oozing hagfish, and brightly colored sea stars. <\/span><\/p>\n

Another of the aquarium\u2019s big draws is its collection of beautiful white beluga whales, exhibited in the \u201cCanada\u2019s Arctic\u201d gallery. Dolphins and the belugas can be seen in ever-changing shows throughout the day.  <\/span>

<\/span>
The Aquarium offers a unique experience \u2013 the SleepOver. You\u2019ll be able to tour behind the scenes after hours, bed down in one of the main aquarium galleries, and are even given breakfast when you wake up. <\/span>
