It is known as the worlds aquarium. They have hundreds of aquariums including a indoor dolphin and beluga tank. About a year and a half ago they added their shark wing to the building.

Had a great time. I took over 350 pictures. It took a couple hours to upload them to my laptop. Now I have to sort them and decide what to use on my website.

Sorry for the blurry photos. They keep the rooms darker and tanks lighter to keep the stress lower on the fish. They dont see the activity on the outside of the tanks. Then they dont allow flash usage on the cameras and I forgot my monopod for the camera.
