We spent two and a half days in Toronto. We told Finn we could do either the aquarium or the museum. He said the aquarium. We thought it was sort of funny since there is no such thing as a museum in Cayman to see dinosaurs or anything. There is a small national museum. Most of the stuff we saw at the aquarium we literally see in our backyard. Tosh was laughing at how much of it Finn has seen while snorkeling. He still loved the aquarium...
Jellyfish wall...
This place had a ton of interactive things for kids. This was a tunnel the kids could crawl through...
and a tunnel kids could stand in...
Finn is in so many people's family photos. Other kids would get in and pose for their parents and Finn would just stand there smiling like he was the 3rd sibling.
There was a converyer belt that we stood on and got pushed down the way like groceries...
Sharks!!
Finn has very wobbly front teeth. This picture cracks me up because he spends a good part of his day trying to hold onto his teeth...
This place was really cool. I am never sure what to make of places like this or zoos. On one hand I love them. On the other I am like no, don't take creatures out of their natural environment. Sadly our oceans are so dangerous for sharks due to fishing, misconceptions about sharks and environmental conditions. Sharks are important. The oceans need sharks. That is my soapbox for the day.
If you are ever in Toronto I would recommend going to the Ripley's Aquarium because it does give you such a great view of how awesome our oceans are and hopefully we can all do our part to ensure that our grandchildren and their grandchildren have these amazing creatures to see as well.
