There was a large display area with all things "shark", which the children enjoyed. Seeing how large a Great White Shark really can get was quite the eye opener.
There were many aquariums set up with smaller fish and sea creatures.
The center of the aquarium houses a large circular tank with Sea Lions. What fun to watch them swim by the glass so close.
They held a great demonstration show. The Sea Lion below is a retired Navy Sea Lion. The handler gave a great talk on how they train the Sea Lions. There was a lot of humor in the show and the Sea Lions seem almost human in their silliness. They really seem to enjoy preforming for the crowd.
Watch out the sharks might get you!
This was as close as we got to the actual Falls. Can you see the misty area right behind the bridge. This wasn't high on the children's list of things to do and we knew we would be taking another trip out here another year...next time with passports for everyone.
We stopped for ice cream on the way home. A very nice day.

Looks like a very fun day!
What a great aquarium.
Very pretty pic with the Falls in the background. I've always imagined it to be in the middle of the woods or something, a giant waterfall with a parking lot, railings, tourists, and too many trees to see anything other than the water and people. lol
