MY Museum

425 Washington St., Monterey, (831) 649‑6444, mymuseum.org

It is said that “a party hardly ever goes the way it is planned or intended.” And the thought has some weight to it, since it was Steinbeck who pointed it out. However – and it’s a big however – the potential for chaos is muted by the right venue. MY Museum is the perfect place to host a birthday party for a youngster. For one thing, you don’t need additional decorations. And it’s versatile, in that MY Museum can host small or larger gatherings. And both kids and adults love the place. So party on, because it will go as intended.
