Monterey Bay Aquarium
This area replicates an inland stream
Inside the Monterey Bay Aquarium. But the windows are looking out to Monterey Bay.
From the MBA website:
Our Coastal Wetland to Sandy Shore galleries celebrate life in Elkhorn Slough (pronounced "slew"), one of the largest coastal wetlands in the state, located in the heart of Monterey Bay's coast.
You'll find many kinds of birds including foraging sandpipers, long-billed curlews and black-necked stilts. Other exhibits let you explore and discover the wetland's hidden nature—buried clams with siphons like snorkels and ghost shrimp that dine on the mud it digs. Take an underwater look at bat rays through periscopes or gently touch them as they swim by.
