I didn't like the one at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.


I think it was misleading advertising that led to my disappointment.


But it was basically having a pretty small group alone in the Aquarium for a couple of hours after closing, and the 100 or so people got to run around in their P.J.'s for those 2 hours.

After that, it was lights out, and you had to bed down in sleeping bags near one of the tanks. And when they said lights out, they meant in the displays, too.


Bah.


We were fortunate to be camped out in front of a huge tank of giant jellies. They were sorta backlit after the main lights went out, so we could still see their fantastically undulating forms ... and it was very hypnotic and a cool thing to fall asleep to.



But from how the adverts read, we expected the Aquarium to be open all night. Nah. They just charged us money to sleep there while they went through their normal operations.



I wouldn't do it again.
