New Year's Eve at the Aquarium

Monterey Bay Aquarium New Years Sleepover

Feel like a fish out of water when it comes to New Year's Eve? We have just the plan for you! The New Year's Eve Seashore Sleepover, hosted by Monterey Bay Aquarium. Gather your friends, the kids, whoever else you want: The world-famous aquarium is positively magical at night, and even more so on New Year's Eve. Glowing, floating jellies make the biggest, most intriguing nightlights ever (and falling asleep next to them is pretty cool, too!). As for the festivities: Watch a special live dive program in the kelp forest exhibit, followed by a beeline to the bar: the sundae bar! Then it's time for a nature movie and later a New Year's Eve toast with sparkling cider. Nighty Night: Memories will be made of spending New Year's Eve sleeping among sea otters, sardines, and penguins. Wake up with the fishes on New Year's Day, get your gift bag and a delicious continental breakfast, and then join the aquarium's naturalists in watching wildlife from the Great Tide Pool Deck. Your ticket gets you aquarium admission for New Year's Day. That's starting 2016 off just swimmingly!

New Year's Eve Seashore Sleepover at Monterey Bay Aquarium: Space is limited—make your reservations now (or end up a fish out of water!).
