Now that soccer camps are over for me I feel like my summer can finally begin! Free at last! This past weekend we finally had a Saturday free so we decided to hit up the new Sciquarium aka the Greensboro Science Center. It just opened a couple of weeks ago and it was very crowded! I think we might wait a while before we go back.
The new aquarium section was small, but still lots of fun! Here are David and Finley inside the otter exhibit! Ha ha ha. If only there were otters in there. We couldn't find any while we were there.
We were very entertained by the penguins. One friendly little guy kept following Finley's hand around. It was so cool.
Of course we had to pose with some penguin statues as well.
There was this really cool polka dotted ray.
The highlight was definitely the touch and feel tank.
It was filled with lots of rays!
Finley really enjoyed touching them and wasn't afraid at all.
Next up was a huge tank filled with sharks! They are so scary looking up close.
Finley loved it every time they swam right past him.
And then all of the sudden this huge ray came toward us out of no where. It was really spectacular.
Finley has really good eyes and spotted this puffer fish? hanging out in the coral.
After visiting the aquarium section we headed on to see the rest of the museum. Fin was especially excited about this new airplane.
He even got to touch a snake! Yikes!
And of course we had to visit the tigers before heading home. Overall it was a great and much needed family day at the sciquarium!

Sounds like a pretty sweet place... though I agree about the crowds. Crowds definitely make it less than ideal/enjoyable. I love the pic of Finley and David popping up in the Otter hole/exhibit.
I want to go check out the new fun. Hopefully get a chance too soon, but sounds like its ok to wait for the newness crowd to slow down. :)
