The Aquarium


Collin LOVES the aquarium! His most recent favorite (besides the Nemo fish) are the sharks! We could have sat there and watched them all day and he would have been the happiest kid on the planet. We pulled in to the parking lot and he started yelling "Shark! Shark!" I don't know where the sudden interest came from, but he is so fascinated by them.
We went once at the beginning of the year and liked it so much that the next time we went, we bought a year pass. We go quite often, at least once a month, sometimes more. It is a great little 'peek' of what is to come. We can't wait for the penguin exhibit! It will be so neat. I, of course, LOVE the frogs they have. I take pictures of them every time I go. I probably have as many of them as I do of Collin at the aquarium LOL. If you haven't taken your munchkins, you should! It's the same admission price as the zoo and you're inside which is nice during hot weather and cold weather. The Sting Ray touching pool is awesome and they have another area where you can touch starfish, brittle stars, etc. When we went last time, they had shark eggs with baby sharks in them! They had a light behind them so you could see them moving inside the egg. It was so neat!
They have food, drinks, play area, and toys to buy. We never leave without buying something! Plus, if you subscribe the the email newsletter, you get discounts and a calendar of events like feedings, shows, etc. I recommend the aquarium on days you just don't have anything to do. I just let Collin run wild in there and then he sleeps like a baby afterward. Good fun and a great learning experience!
