Downtown Aquarium

The Downtown Aquarium in Denver is another fun place to visit with little ones.  

 

Here is a paragraph from their website-

 

 "The entertainment and dining complex features a public aquarium boasting more than a million gallons of underwater exhibits that highlight fascinating ecosystems around the world. Downtown Aquarium houses over 500 species of animals, the interactive Stingray Reef touch tank, Aquarium Restaurant, Dive Lounge, the Nautilus Ballroom and amusements for the entire family"

 

Here are some pictures from our last visit

She loves little stingrays...

and very large ones!

 

This picture was taken in a walk-through tube that allows you to watch the animals swim up over the top of you.  Lots of fun!

 

Fun domes for the kids to look through.

Feeding the stingrays!

Fun shot of shark and turtle.

 

The shark area also has some glass sections of flooring so you can watch the sharks swim under you and if you are brave you can stand on the glass and watch them swim directly under your feet.
