Unfortunately, everyone that was at the Atlanta Temple Open House the night before followed us to the aquarium. And brought their friends. And their friends' friends. And school groups. And friends of school groups. It was insanely crowded. The aquarium was amazing. But we all struggled to fully enjoy it since it was often hard to see exhibits. And hard to keep track of each other. And hard not to get stepped on.
We still saw some really cool things and did manage to have some fun. The dolphin show there is quite a spectacle. More of a theatrical production. A dolphin musical actually. Really cheesy but the effects were pretty impressive. Amelia ate it up. When it was over Amelia said "That was really dramatic. Do you know what dramatic means? It wasn't just a show, it was a whole story!"
(Amelia was still a little traumatized from my stingray incident but she finally got brave enough to touch them. Elsa watched from a distance.)
(Walking through the fish tunnel.)
This tank was amazing. So huge. We spent a lot of time here just sitting on the floor in front of the glass watching different creatures swim by.
(Checking out the 4-D movie.)
(Seahorses!)
Don't be fooled by my pictures. The view usually looked like this:
They also had a fun play place for the kids with a big pirate ship. And a penguin exhibit.
Okay, the photos with all the crowds make me think, are you watching the fish or are the fish watching you?
