Definitely one of the best aquariums we have been to. Lots
of interactive exhibits including Adventure Island, a hands-on
playzone. Touch cownose rays or baby sharks. See the
penguins and sea lions during feeding time. Walk through the
Caribbean Reef which is a 30 foot long tunnel where you are
surrounding by sea life....just beautiful!

was enough to keep the kids busy for quite awhile.

Friendly Travel Tip:
Older children can use time in the car or airplane to
learn a new craft. There are some great books
about learning to knit, crochet and cross-stitch.
Your child will be occupied and have a sense of
accomplishment when they have completed a project by the
end of the journey. |
