For kids, Cannery Row is a boundless playground where one can build teddy bears and pet sea stars, pedal four-wheeled surreys and paint pottery, bead a necklace and collect shells, or play black light mini-golf after watching an IMAX movie or sipping a chocolate shake. For parents, Cannery Row is value and convenience. Family-friendly hotels here offer thoughtful amenities – pullout couches, cribs, adjoining suites, kitchenettes, in-room gaming systems and complimentary breakfasts – and are ideally located near attractions, restaurants, beaches and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Families simply park the car, explore on foot and return to the hotel when heavy-eyed little ones (or their parents!) need a nap.
