The Monterey Bay Aquarium‘s Hot Pink Flamingos exhibit opens on Monday. The Aquarium is known for its unique, groundbreaking exhibits, and Hot Pink Flamingos is no exception. This exhibit has it all – unique creatures (including penguins, flamingos, and many more), cutting-edge interactive elements, and an important message.

We were invited to a sneak peek today, and intrepid photographer Allyson took great photos.
