At this time, in order to be admitted to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, all visitors ages 12 and over must present either proof of full vaccination or a negative Covid-19 test result (either rapid antigen or PCR test).
Please note that, beginning Monday, January 10, 2022, those Covid-19 tests will need to be taken within 24 hours of your visit. Results from at-home tests will not be accepted. (Previously, tests needed to be taken within 72 hours).
To be clear: this new rule about Covid testing applies only to guests who do not show proof of full Covid vaccination with any vaccine approved by the WHO.
