Family-Friendly Activities in Monterey

There’s nothing like spending time with the family after a long week of work. Aside from attending sports games, going to parks, or watching movies together, why not mix things up and allow children to discover new things that would not only be enjoyed by them, but by adults as well. Here are some things to do and places to visit in Monterey the next time you take your loved ones on an outing:

• MY Museum, Dennis the Menace Park, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Monterey Mirror Maze, Wild Things – Going to these places guarantees a good time and lets both kids and adults sharpen their minds.
• Monterey Bay, Monterey County Coastal Recreation Trail, Cannery Row, Oldtown Monterey – Outdoor and water activities strengthen bonds among family members and are good sources of exercises too.
• Point Lobos tide pools, Pinnacles National Park, Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, and Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District – Land activities such as hiking in these places let everyone work up a sweat and enable them to explore nature as well.
• Monterey County’s farms – Farms can teach children the importance of agriculture in their lives as well as the day-to-day workings behind them.

The best part is: you can cap your day off with delectable seafood dishes at restaurants like Domenico’s On the Wharf. Pay them a visit at the end of your day and you’ll have one more memorable experience to share with your loved ones.
