In the game of Candy Land, all roads lead to the same place: King Kandy’s Castle. It’s a bright palace covered in candy, a child’s fantasy oasis. In Monterey County, we have our very own version of King Kandy Castle – you guessed it, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, a star destination of our very own Candy Land. Swap out the jellybean windows for glass, with an inside look into the deep sea, the sugar paths for the sandy shores where birds burrow or search for bugs. That makes it the best place to visit, and it also has a mission that’s no fantasy: To inspire ocean conservation.
