Children's Aquarium at Fair Park

Wednesday before Thanksgiving we took Ben & Kate to the new Children's Aquarium at Fair Park. It was great and I highly recommend it! It was very hands on, interactive and kid friendly. They got to handle hermit crabs and feed stingrays- even though they were a little afraid to do both!

If you do go, bring some extra clothes if you think your kids will like to feed the sting rays and hold the crabs. I saw a lot of little wet kids! And there are picnic tables if you want to bring lunch.OR.....you could do what we did and stop by the West End and eat in the trolley car at Spaghetti Warehouse! Ben & Kate got a kick out of it!
