Living Planet Aquarium

We wanted to do something exciting for a change, so we splurged and went to the aquarium. I must have been feeling rich that day or something, because the admission price was steep. I don't think it was worth the price we paid to get in, but the aquarium was definitely cool. 




There was a special exhibit with river otters, but all they did was sleep in the corner of the tank/cage. 


The best exhibit was the penguin exhibit. They were fast swimmers and they could just sort of pop out of the water on their feet on shore.

Brian's phone couldn't take very many pictures, so this is the only one we got inside the aquarium. Those fish in there are June suckers. If you know the significance of the June sucker, congratulations. If you don't, you probably haven't been to Utah Lake recently.


We learned that bizarre creatures live in the sea. And trout live in Utah.

I'm glad you splurged and did something fun with your time off!

Is that the aquarium that is inside of the old grocery store? We went there once and although it was kind of expensive for being in a grocery store it was pretty cool. We liked the octopus and the jelly fish and the cool exhibit of the electric eel. They had the tank rigged up so that when the eel was trying to shock something you could hear it on a speaker. We walked by and nothing happened but then this little kid walked by and the eel went crazy. We think he was trying to eat the kid!
