Our home school science group recently went on a field trip to the Toronto aquarium. The kids absolutely loved the experience. I have to admit, I found it pretty cool myself. My favorite creature was the octopus and the colour changing jellyfish. They had a lot of tanks where you could pet different animals, including a tank where you could pet a shark (albeit a small one)! The kids favorite part of the aquarium was a glass crawling tunnel suspended in the middle of the shark tank (see video). We spend a long time there. Even Ada loved it. They also had an adult version (see bottom picture) where you ride a moving side walk through a tunnel in the aquarium.
It was especially fun watching Ada at the aquarium. She loved all the sights and tried desperately to eat every type of marine animal she found. Fortunately, the glass was in the way, a fact she found very perplexing.
