Trip to Monterey Bay Aquarium

Trip to Monterey Bay Aquarium, Tuesday  June 3, 2008 - US$58.50 per person

The Monterey Bay Aquarium, which is located in a former sardine cannery on Cannery Row in Monterey, California is one of the largest and most respected aquariums in the world. It has an annual attendance of 1.8 million and holds 35,000 plants and animals representing 623 species.

The trip to the aquarium departs from Asilomar Conference Grounds at 1.30pm on Tuesday June 3, 2008. The price includes transportation to and from the aquarium, entrance fee, express entry through group entrance. The visit is not organized as a tout and delegates are free to enjoy the facilities at their leisure.
