Hmmm, my favorit exipity was the jellyfish one. I just love how the jellies just float around and look so weightless, makes me wonder if humans will look like that after thousands of years in space...
How many of you have visited a Public Aquarium? and more...

I'm an active member of the Monterey Bay Aquarium in CA. It's just about an hour south of me. LOVE IT 
My favorite is the mola mola (aka the Ocean Sunfish) from the Outer Bay exhibit.
Best Regards,

If you are ever in Australia, the Sydney Aquarium is worth a visit.

The big walk-through pools, one with Dugons and smaller fish, the other with big sharks and rays. The reef tank that you actually walk though. Glass floor, roof and walls. It puts you in the tank, and the fish swim around you. And dozens of smaller exhibits with all sort of interesting critters.
Well worth a visit if you are in that part of the world.
I'm from NZ, so it's 3-4 hours flying to get there

My all time fav though was not a zoo or an aquarium it was just enjoying nature right where it was while scuba diving where I was and seeing the wouinders there. Or while I was on Missionarionary journy to Botswana in the kalahari desert I saw many wounderous things there too. around the world 11 times takes one to many places to see many things. It's really hard to choose which is my fav.

The marsh exhibit was an outdoor marsh full of fish, frogs, turtles, etc. There was a boardwalk over it so people could view different parts of it. The marsh was full of plants such as lily pads and other plants commonly found in marshes of the area.
