Denver Aquarium

We went to the Denver Aquarium on Monday Feb 22 during our family's little trip to Denver this time. We wanted to do something to make our trip seem like a vacation. Ben and Molly had been there before but Ben was 3 and can't remember, and Molly was around 3 days old....not too sure she remembers either. Rob says they've made a lot of changes since then. We had a really great time!

First we went in the Shark Tank....a bit scary, but we survived. :D (Rob held Chloe up there and she, obviously, wasn't too thrilled...I had to snap a split-second shot, cuz that's about how long she was in there.) :P

Then we moved on to some fish and otter exhibits. The otters were MIA so we went back again at the end and were able to see them.We got to watch some divers cleaning one of the tanks, that was really cool. We didn't think they could see us at first, but then one of them posed for a pic with Molly and Ben. :)Looking at sting rays and skates

Checking out the tunnel

Chloe had a great time!! :)We got to pet the sting rays? (I think that's what they were...)
And then we bought some fish to feed them.
That was really cool!!!Feeding the Sting Rays (I think) :P
Looking at the otters on our second trip around...Chloe's first otter siting Molly and Ben about to be drowned in a flash flood.

We also got to watch them feed the sharks, which was really neat too!
(But the pics weren't) :)

Wow, looks like you guys had a great time. It looks like they have made improvements, last time we went it was pretty boring, we will have to try it again.
BTW thanks for all the new posts!

I didn't even know that Denver had an aquarium. It looks like fun! Those are most definitely sting rays. Dan and I got to swim with them on our honeymoon in Grand Cayman, which was super fun.
