We are passing thru Monterey on our way to Santa Cruz. We would like to visit the aquarium. Do you have any suggestions on where to park the MH for a few hours while we drive our toad to the aquarium?

There's a Walmart in Marina which is about 8 miles north of the Aquarium in Monterey.

That whole area is very congested, I would park way outside the area and drive a car in.

Depending on your size they have RV parking by the wharf

Wal-Mart looks like a good choice. Thanks for the replies.

What about here? Looks like a decent size lot with long spaces near the entrance.

Depending on what's going on there is a Fairground in Monterey that used to have overnight parking.

I wonder when that photo was taken - I've never seen that lot so empty!

Used to live in Gilroy and was a charter member of the aquarium - parking down by that area is crazy to find, unless you are there real early. Maybe plan on going down to the parking area early in the morning, have breakfast, then hit the aquarium. If you get there later in the morning, lots of luck finding a place too park a RV. If you have a toad - you are way better off using that to drive in and will have much more flexibility. And that photo of an empty parking lot - never seen anything that empty!
