Aquarium Visits: Our Cup Runneth Over!

September 2006
On September 3 the Monterey Bay Aquarium experiences the highest single-day attendance in its history, when 16,694 people visit to celebrate the Labor Day weekend and the arrival of our second-ever white shark. Just 13 days later, on September 16, the 40-millionth visitor passes through our doors—more than the entire population of California!
