Today I’m going on a field trip with my son to our local aquarium. I volunteered because I love underwater creatures and haven’t been to the aquarium since my kids were little.

Have you ever been to an aquarium?
What’s your favorite underwater creature?
 
The last time i went was in Myrtle Beach 2022.

The seals and penguins are my favorite!!

Have fun!
 
I am like you - I LOVE underwater creatures so I love visiting aquariums!!! Last time was 2024 on a school trip with my pupils in Gothenburg, Sweden at a place called Universeum.

My favorite underwater creatures are octopuses - I even got one as a tattoo! :wub

We didn’t see seals but we did see penguins and otters! The penguins were my son’s must see. I forgot how cute they are hopping out of the water! I got the best video!

That’s fun you went in 2024! I was hoping to see the octopus today but never found it. :-/ We were able to see them feed the octopus in the past which was fun.
 
I have been to a couple of awesome aquariums: Baltimore, MD and Monterey, CA. There are too many awesome sea creatures to pick a favorite. One I didn't see mentioned yet is especially photogenic: jellyfish. I like sea turtles too. I have a plush one that sits on the back of my comfy chair, looking out the window.
 
I love aquariums and have been to tons of them across the US. We have one in my town that I go to probably once a year.My favorite water creatures are octopi and manatees!
 
Have you ever been to an aquarium? Yes, just the one over on the Oregon Coast. It focuses on Oregon sea life.

What’s your favorite underwater creature? I love to watch the sea lions! Our aquarium also has some lovely jellyfish displays.

Both of those are on my wishlist.

I love aquariums. I went to a marine science high school and was an enviro major in high school. Bring on all the underwater friends!

I love stingrays and whale sharks to the point where I spent months showing my itty bitty baby videos of them before going to the Georgia Aquarium for his first Christmas. My husband got video of a whale shark swimming over us and it's still one of the most magical moments of my life.

I also really like sea turtles and manatees, which is good since I live close to a sea turtle hospital and a place where the manatees love to hang out.

Yes, last time was in 2022 during our summer holidays.

I loved watching jellyfish. In the large aquarium, they looked as if they were flying and the lights made the spectacle even more magical. But it was a disaster to photograph because there were too many darks areas and others that were very bright.
 
I love our local aquarium. The feeding of the rays was a highlight for me. But I also enjoy watching the Sharks and the turtles.
 
I love aquariums too as I love underwater creatures! I love watching all the colorful fish swimming around together. One time a long time ago we went to the aquarium in Chicago and they had to coolest seahorse exhibit... like TONS of different kinds. That was really cool! I really only like seeing the smaller creatures at aquariums though. I feel bad when I see bigger things like sharks, dolphins and sea turtles in a small tank because I know they would rather have more room to swim around.

We admired the jellyfish and sea turtles yesterday! My favorite was snorkeling with sea turtles in Hawaii.

Manatees are my favorite because I swam with them in Florida! Octopi are very cool too.

I didn’t know you went to a marine science high school. No wonder you love all underwater friends! I loved reading about your magical whale shark moment too; that’s amazing!

Feeding rays is so fun! We watched sharks and turtles yesterday. I also discovered a mata mata which looks like a flat turtle.
