I absolutely adore aquariums (?aquaria?). The very best I have ever seen is the one about an hour's drive from San Francisco and, being old, I have totally forgotten its name!!! However, what do names matter when I can still see it in my mind's eye?:-)
Beautiful! I was just there last winter, but I spent too much time in the Field Museum and didn't get a chance to go back to the aquarium. Hope to make it next time!

The Shedd Aquarium! I went there once on a band/choir trip in high school and loved it. I once saw a wedding that used it the facilities as well. Beautiful! I'm glad that you enjoyed your trip there...I would love to go back and admire the beautiful fish! Thank you for sharing your photo, and Happy WW!
Looks like a wonderful place to spend a Wordless Wednesday. Have a safe trip.
Ohh I LOVE aquariums! I'll have to put this on my "must travel to" list. Great pictures!
when was the last time i was at an aquarium? hmmm....
I absolutely adore aquariums (?aquaria?). The very best I have ever seen is the one about an hour's drive from San Francisco and, being old, I have totally forgotten its name!!! However, what do names matter when I can still see it in my mind's eye?:-)
I like aquariums too. And this one is housed in a gorgeous building.
It's always fun to see fishies up close and personal and staring back at you.

Love the fishies!
wow, great shots and it looks like a really fun day.
Looks like a fun family outing. Love the fish!
Beautiful! I was just there last winter, but I spent too much time in the Field Museum and didn't get a chance to go back to the aquarium. Hope to make it next time!
Arboretum, aquarium, you've been busy. Hope the rest of your trip is as enjoyable.
Gosh! I want to go!!!
You have some marvelous pictures here!
That looks like a great place to visit.
