There is an aquarium at the Arizona Mills Mall in Tempe. They were having a homeschool week and so we went and checked it out. They had a little class at the beginning. The kids learned about camouflage and then made pictures of an animal camouflaging itself in the sea. It was quite amazing how many different sea animals they had in the aquarium. Fish of all different colors, sharks, sting rays, turtles, jellyfish, star fish and more.
There was one display in which the kids could touch a few different sea creatures. Small crabs, snails, starfish etc. Scattered throughout the aquarium they had these little areas the kids could climb into and put their head up into a plastic bubble inside the tanks. It was so neat.
This is Emily inside one of the bubbles.

My kids called this tank (below) the Nemo tank. They had the fish from the movie Little Nemo all in one tank. The kids loved it.
For anyone that lives in Arizona, I highly recommend this aquarium. I want to go again with Darrell so I can actually enjoy going through slowly and reading about the fish. The kids of course are so excited they jump from thing to thing to thing.
