Want to see John Steinbeck sitting around and drinking with friends? Then come to this wax museum. You can get a glimpse at almost 450 years worth of Monterey history here. The museum stocks more than 100 realistic wax figures, depicting a number of scenes throughout time. See figures of old cannery workers, prostitutes and Indians. This is one of the newest attractions in Cannery Row and a great place to bring the entire family. Admission: $4.95 adults; $2.95 kids 7-12. See website for more.

Not A Highlight
I don't think this is one of the highlights of the Monterey Bay, even Cannery Row. It's a poorly lit basement with wax figures in it. For $7 p...
