Today was a fun day with the grand kids at the Aquarium of the Pacific. I remember visiting when it opened 16 years ago. Of course I’ve been back since, going with grandchildren makes it all the more fun. When it first opened, they stocked it with baby fish, by now many of them have grown and many others have been added – it really is a magical place.
They have 3 or 4 pools where children (and adults) can use two fingers to touch the animals. Here it is sea anenomes, in other pools it’s baby sharks, baby rays, star fish and jelly fish. Not the stinging kind!
Aytan didn’t get the message to look at the camera.
They have divers in the big central tank, saying hello is always fun.
What did Aytan think was the best part? Feeding the Lorakeets.
Birds at an aquarium? Birds from Australia no less? Well I guess it is on the Pacific ocean. At $3 a pop for that little cup of food, it is probably one of the best money makers the aquarium has.
This is a wonderful place for anyone interested in the bounty and beauty of the ocean. A fun place to spend a nice brisk spring morning.
