In addition to the exotic fish, one will find some really interesting displays of aquatic life closer to home in the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. A few short steps from there you can see alligators and snapping turtles in the swamps and bayous of the Deep South. From there, you can visit the South Pole and its amazing penguins.
With such a large collection of marine animals it’s tough to see them all, but there’s one attraction that is hard to miss. This is the Shark Central, its very unique area of the aquarium where the visitors are given the opportunity to pet a few of the sharks, not to worry the small sharks.
