Monterey Bay Photo, your local photo lab, has expanded our offerings to meet the needs of the community during the pandemic. On our website , we are now selling cloth face masks , printable neck gaiters and face scarves , sneeze shields, and metal signage and photo prints that are easily cleaned.

While Monterey Bay Aquarium remains closed to the public, your favorite animals and exhibits are still receiving the highest level of care. But since closing our doors to protect our visitors, staff, and marine life during the COVID-19 pandemic, we've suffered a 100% loss of admissions revenue and we need your help as we face a huge funding shortfall of over $40 million.

Please consider a donation to help us bridge this crisis and come out stronger and more connected than before. Your gift to our Special Fund for the Aquarium will be put to work immediately to feed and care for our animals, clean the jelly displays to make sure the live cams are crystal clear, and to maintain this special place we've built together over the past 35 years. Thank you.
