The Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center

Virginia Aquarium - Sand SharksThe summer of 2015 was a good one for us. Hubby and I spent a lot of time traveling! We visited the great states of Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and of course, Pennsylvania!

When we were down in Virginia Beach for a few days we had the opportunity to visit the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center. We love visiting all kinds of different zoos, wildlife parks and aquariums. If it has animals and/or has something to do with nature…we are there!

This particular aquarium is really quite large and definitely one you should visit if you ever get the chance. We saw all kinds of different tropical fish, sand sharks, stingrays, crabs, lobsters, etc. You know, the kind of animals you will see living in the sea!

In addition to the aquarium they have dolphin watching, the National Geographic 3D theater and a Dinosaur Exhibit. If visiting, you will want to allow at least one full day there so that you can see and experience everything that they have to offer.

My photo for my “Almost” Wordless Wednesday post isn’t a fabulous photo but it’s decent. It’s really hard to photograph inside of aquariums due to the darkness and the camera flash bouncing off the glass. It’s a photo of some sand sharks that we got to see.

How many of you enjoy visiting aquariums? For those of you who love visiting them…do you have a favorite one? Tell me about it!
