Denver Downtown Aquarium

Last weekend, while we were in Denver, my mom & I took the kids to the Downtown Aquarium (Ocean's Journey). We had a lot of fun & the kids absolutely loved it! Billy hasn't quit talking about it!


The Tiger fish

Billy's favorite fish - he though it was cool to see such a big fish.


There were tunnels you walk through, I was surprised to see scuba divers! Apparently, anyone can swim with the fish!

We all loved the sea turtles!

Billy wasn't sure what to think the first time he saw a shark swim overhead!
I was also shocked there were tigers. But, it was neat to see the fish in the water with the tigers!
And, the tigers weren't shy, they'd just walk right up to the windows! The kids were a little nervous when this one walked up to us.


Look close and you can see the tiger chilling out on the rock.



The kids can touch star fish. The lady told Billy to watch close and see them move really slowly.





Everyone there was super friendly! This was one of the workers cleaning the tank. He came to the window to show Billy a shark tooth he found!

Then, the kids got to touch the sting rays!
