The Aquarium

I love Stanley Park. I love to walk around the beautiful forests, walk along the beaches, the spray park, the miniature train but one of my favourite places there is the Aquarium. We haven't been in years, but now that we live here again we have gotten a membership and can go anytime we want. The kids are at a great age now to enjoy it too.

As we were walking around there was quite a commotion at the sea lion exhibit. We headed over just as a huge sea lion was being wheeled in a cage right past us, we could have touched him if we wanted but knew better not to! He was calling to his buddies in the exhibit, they are really loud if you were wondering! We never did see him go back into the exhibit with his friends but were able to catch one of his friends looking for his arrival.

The kids loved all the hands on stuff...

The aquarium didn't come without it's danger though, Paul nearly got pooped on by this bird.

I nearly got hit by this one!

Don't know what these are but there were tons of them in a tank all moving up and down in and out of the sand, pretty funny.

The frogs were a huge hit with the girl's especially Cici, she is a frog lover.

We were sprayed by a Beluga Whale, went on a 4D adventure movie (where we also got sprayed!), saw lots of cool fish and animals and generally felt like this...
