It was cute—filled with tons of local fish and interesting facts about them! Outside, they had some outdoor exhibits as well, but since it was pretty cold, we didn’t stay long at each. Most animals were off in the distance, staying warm 😊
Next, we went inside, where we found rows of tanks! Fish, reptiles, spiders, and other little creatures were everywhere! Midway through our walk, they had opossums out being held by employees, and we stopped to pet them while learning a bit of their history.
Most of the exhibits were rescues, which we absolutely love! ❤ It’s always great to see places that focus on rehabilitation and education, making sure these animals get proper care while also teaching visitors about them.
