A visit to the aquarium



Category: Pets and other animals | Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2008 5:30 pm

We're so lucky we have a big aquarium close by, it only takes about 30 minutes to drive. We are year-card holders, so we visit when we want without additional payment. I do not normally bring the camera, but today I did, for some reason. The batteries didn't last long, but at least I got to photograph the penguins, which arrived just before Christmas:





Here are from some of the tanks:











They've got a huge tank where divers feed the fish. All the children are clustered near the glass to watch, and it's so fun seeing all the different fish eating from the divers's hand.

Also, they have a department for babies, and it's fun to watch shark eggs and newly hatched sharks. The contact pool is very popular too, but the crabs were so full of food that they just didn't want to play today. The girls ended up petting the starfish instead.

As for me, I always leave with a craving for fish soup, crab, lobster, anything sea food related. Shame on me! *lol*

I'm soooo glad you took your camera with you Dooley and managed to capture the wonderful photographs you did before your batteries ran out. We have a Sealife centre about half an hours drive from where we live but it's soooo expensive that we rarely visit it. It would cost Ian and I approx $48 - way too much for my liking!!

That's something I haven't visited in far too long, an aquarium. Until I do your photos will fill in just fine Droopy. Thanks for posting them.

Thank you!

Eileen, that is rather expensive for a day out. I thought about flowers too, Sjoerd, when photographing the anemone. And Frank, there's an aquarium somewhere in Malmö, in or near the museums I think.

You're welcome, Netty, and thank you. It's a good day out, and the girls learn so much from visiting too.
