VIRGINIA BEACH AQUARIUM

Today was cool and overcast so we headed to the aquarium.

The first room highlighted life in the marshes and had a number of bird species enjoying the feeders.

Of course the larger tanks housing local sea creatures were most impressive. The sharks and otters moved too quickly but these turtles moved gently across the glass and were easy to photograph.

Walking through the glass tunnel was amazing with views from all angles as the fish swam by.

There were volunteers throughout the aquarium ready to explain the display and answer our questions. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

Watching the string-rays being fed was exciting as they became very frantic even before the food was available; they just knew it was time for lunch.

This is a place that easily takes a day to properly enjoy maybe two.

We will be back.
