Best Aquariums To Visit

Rate this Entry
This article just came out with which are the better aquariums to visit. http://www.travelchannel.com/interes...iums-by-region

I've been to five of these, so it looks like I need to visit a few more. Here's my list:

Dallas World Aquarium
Georgia Aquarium
Waikiki Aquarium
Monterey Bay Aquarium
Aquarium of the Pacific

I saw the outside of the National Aquarium once, but there was no time to visit. We ate nearby, and I was able to see the glass structure from afar.

This is a picture taken at the Waikiki Aquarium, with a very old Gigas Clam that has been in captivity successfully.

    You must check out Shedd Aquarium in downtown Chicago. You could literally spend days there (which I have : ) )!

    Carl, great to see you on ReefAddicts! I didn't leave it out; those were the ones I've visited that were part of the list in the article linked above. I've been to quite a few public aquariums over the years.
