As far a fish stuff Birch aquarium is amazing. It a little north of San Diego in La Jolla. I love sea world, the zoo is great and the the safari park. There is also the sea life park at Lego land.
If you like rides Knotts berry farm has great rides and six flags magic mountain is wicked for coasters. There is so much to see there. I know socal almost as good as e-town.
I've never been to Monterey Bay aquarium but it's on my bucket list.
