Grapevine Sealife Aquarium

Sunday, October 9, 2011

Last weekend we visited the new aquarium in Grapevine Mills Mall. Diego had been asking for days to go to the aquarium and see the sharks. We were pretty pumped about going. First let me give my honest opinion about the aquarium. It is quite small. For the price and all the buzz I was expecting something bigger. The exhibits were nice and the boys loved it, but I was some what disappointed. I realize, this is not Sea World or anything like Texas State Aquarium ( which I love), but for my boys it was perfect.

I did like that they interactive activities throughout the aquarium. Diego was even brave enough to stick his hand in the tank and touch the starfish

This was my favorite part. The 360 degree underwater tunnel. For some reason my boys were scared to walk through. It was not the fish swimming over their heads, but the floor where there was fish underneath us as well. We had this happen at the zoo and the park, with walking over a bridge. So the first time we had to carry them through the tunnel. We decided to go back and ~~make~~ encourage them to walk through on their own. At first they were hesistant, but then they realized it was not scary at all, and they were able to enjoy the tunnel.
