We made a trip to the Tampa Aquairum the other day and it was very nice. Cool things to look at, nifty set-up and because we are members of the Sunken Garden we got our tickets at a discount. Mind you, I don't do Tampa, but when I can sit back and let someone else do the driving stuff, why not?
Petting zoo type of aquarium housing manta rays in the lobby.
Birds in the place are not encased in cages.
A horseshoe crab burrowed into a sandy area.
A kid face-to-face (?) with a ray.
Teeny tiny eels burrowed into the sand.
A puffer looking fish.
I don't remember what these guys are.
The Carnival Legend docked outside the Aquarium and ready to take off on a cruise.
These guys are fun to watch.
This was another interactive exhibit: you could touch these creatures with two fingers. This was a starfish I touched.
Dazzling fishes with pointed thingies. What? You wanted the Latin names?
Yup, this is a fish not seaweed.
The shark tank was very coooooool.
Spooky head-on look. I waited and didn't move. The shark blinked and left me alone.
There is no doubt that sharks are the most fascinating creatures here.
Norah seemed more fascinated by her new friend.
The Tampa Aquarium is a great place to visit and very happy we did. We will wrap this up tomorrow.
