Monterey Bay Aquarium has arguably the best jellyfish exhibits you will ever see anywhere else in the world. Strategically located at the edge of the ocean, the Monterey Bay Aquarium act as a window to the life of jellyfishes and marine life in general, for non-swimmers and dive masters alike. The main mission of the aquarium is to inspire the conservation of jellyfish and provide a platform where jellyfish lovers can come and see the best of the species never seen anywhere else before.

The Rhythm and movement gallery provides Monterey Bay Aquarium Jellyfish visitors with compelling beauty of pulsing, drifting, and gliding jellies. The most mesmerizing among them all are the cube-shaped box jelly, blue jelly, and moon jellies to mention but a few. Jellies today have a very impressive selection of swimming styles, some like to beat furiously and fast, others would pulse serenely the way living lava lamps would, while still others would swim like oarlike paddles or puddle upside down. You get to see all these swimming styles and perhaps discover a new one at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Jellyfish.

The 'shape and size' gallery of the Monterey Bay aquarium will give you the opportunity to see all sizes and different shapes of Jellies. From the almost microscopic tinkerbells to beach umbrella-like golden giants, all seen in rolling translucence and colors of the jellies and the inventive artwork inspired by nature.

Perhaps you only know of the umbrella-shaped Jelly sprawling its tentacles as it softly pulse through water. However a visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium jellyfish will paint an all new different picture in you about jellies as you get to see jellies without tentacles and such species as the comb jellies using oarlike hairs to propel through water - quite a breathtaking view.

As we all know, jellies come in an amazing array of patterns and colors - from polka dots to stripes, rainbow row, and jewel-like colors. Visiting the Monterey Bay Aquarium Jellyfish exhibit you get to experience all of these and more of bell jellies, spotted jellies, cross jellies and flower hat jelly.

The flower hat jellies in particular are found in the Monterey Bay Aquarium Jellyfish exhibit as their first time ever in North America, and you get to see them in yellow, pink, green, and purple decorations. They are small, round, and feature short tentacles. That said, Monterey bay Aquarium jellyfish exhibit is the place to be for those who want to lean more about jellyfish, or those who just want to be captivated by these mesmerizing animals.
