Pacific Grove

This pint-sized natural history museum packs a surprising punch for curious kids. Hunt for fossils in the rock pit, discover the "secret door" in the play area, and come face-to-face with a room full of taxidermy birds. It's a hands-on celebration of Monterey County's wild side that keeps little ones engaged far longer than you'd expect.
