First purchase on here and the ticket sounded almost too good to be true. Took my chance on them, and they worked without issue. Got scanned into the aquarium and had a blast with the kiddo. Took a family of 5 for the price of 2 people. Very good deal. Will buy from again.
Monterey Bay Aquarium is a birthday gift to his daughter Julie Packard, co-founder of David Packard. Julie Packard is now executive director of the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
