Bridge, DUluth
|
|
|
We got lost in DUluth downtown and didn't park in the Aquarium's parking lot.
We passed this draw bridge and there happened to be a boat coming into the harbor.

Great Lakes Aqurium

The aquarium interior looked modern. A huge glass wall with falling water separated the hall and the exhibition
area.

Fish Tank
|
|
|
Fresh water fishes usually don't look as colorful as their salt water cousins.
We didn't have much experience with fresh water fish and the only one we knew
(and ate recently) was Walleye. No wonder, we began to search it in the big tank.

Fresh Water Sting Ray
|
|
|
These are fresh water rays. I never know that the ray has fresh water version.
They welcome the visitors to touch these rays. The skin felt rough like sand papers.
However, the flesh seemed to be soft and spongy.

Fresh Water Turtle

This aquarium also have a lot of interactive exhibition to explain the natural environment,
ecological system and how the science studies were conducted. It's very educational.
We saw a lot of children tried to operate these exhibited equipments with great enthusiasm.
I believe that they will learn much more here than reading books.
This is Great Lakes Aquarium Home Page.
They also have Aquarium Virtual Tour with a lot of
pictures and detailed description.
