Like drama, intrigue, romance and action? Then head for a real 3-D experience at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. With sea otters, penguins and all your old favorites, plus a new interactive exhibit—The Secret Lives of Seahorses—this world-famous site is an aquatic bonanza. Check out 15 different species of seahorses, sea dragons and pipefish—from the leafy sea dragon to the ribbon pipehorse. Meander through four multimedia galleries and discover how these shy fish attract mates and give birth—it's the only family in the animal kingdom in which the male gets pregnant!
TIP: Meet the seahorses' newest neighbor, a great white shark. This 5-foot-3-inch beauty arrived in late August, but she won't be the honored guest for long, so see her soon. And with that, it's official—the Monterey Bay Aquarium is the blockbuster hit of the season.
