Somehow need to clean that up for better viewing. The shark dive tank was clear both looking into the water and thru the glass.

There was so much to look at, that my phone battery did not last.My five-year-old spend a whole lot :-) looking forward to going again soon. I wish there was a picture of the Narwal display in the museum I couldn’t find a postcard of it as my camera to not make it that far .

Great for people who can't go enjoy nature. Sad about the magestic eagle in the dark small enclosure. Feel bad for the bears too.
