After being closed for more than a year now due to the ongoing pandemic, Monterey Bay Aquarium has just announced that it will be reopening to all guests on May 15.

Tickets go on sale Wednesday, May 5 at 9 a.m. PT. Members can reserve tickets starting April 26; special member days will take place May 1–14.

We’ve also made some changes to help keep everyone safe and healthy while you have a fin-tastic day at the Aquarium.

Here’s what to expect:

Choose your date and time
To limit the number of people inside the Aquarium, you’ll need to reserve tickets on our website for a specific date and entry time.

During busy times, we have to limit the number of people purchasing tickets on our website at one time. If this happens, you’ll join a line to make reservations. When it is your turn, you’ll be notified and will have 10 minutes to start your reservation.

Wear a face covering
All guests ages three and older must wear a face covering that covers their mouth and nose. We’ve got otterly amazing masks available for purchase if you need one.

Go with the flow
To keep everyone spaced out and moving in one direction, you’ll follow a one-way path through the Aquarium. We’ll be putting some of our play areas, feedings and auditorium programs “on paws” (get it?) for now. You’ll still be able to enjoy our animals and exhibits — including the amazing views and fresh air from our oceanfront decks.
