Every time we are in Pacific Grove we always make a point of going to the Lighthouse. Always has first run movies, it’s never crowded, the seats are super comfortable and the popcorns good. What’s not to like!

History that’s living in the moment Stunning monarchs. Endless birdlife. Vivid wildflowers. Rockstar geology. Wow-worthy whales. Pacific Grove’s landmark museum opened in 1883, the same year as did the Brooklyn Bridge, making it one of the country’s oldest of its kind. But its deep diversity of unique Central Coast creatures, pioneering science and interactivity make it as current as ever.
We've traveled often over many years to the Monterey Peninsula but this was our first time here. What a find! We love small museums which with well-displayed and explained local information. This museum is great for all ages-- kids too! Upon entry, with information provided by Sophie (thank you!) our four year old received a scavenger hunt sheet. There's lots of hands-on stuff for kids, as well as great info for adults about the land tectonic plates, beaches/sand formation ) local history including a Chinese village model, the formation of sand, and of course local flora and fauna. Among many interesting animal displays, we particularly loved the bird exhibit. There is gift shop with some lovely and unique times. So glad to have seen this museum. We'll be back on future trips!
