July 14th we visited the Downtown Aquarium in Denver for the first time. I'd heard mixed reviews about this aquarium, but after going, I'd give it 2 thumbs up. We absolutely loved it! 
We spent the majority of our time in the fish-viewing tunnel, which featured manta rays, sea turtles and sharks. It was fascinating to watch such amazing creatures swim directly over you! The huge green Moray Eel was incredible too (and we learned that Moray Eels are actually BLUE, but secrete a mucus that makes them appear GREEN).
The kids enjoyed the underwater viewing bubbles, which were underneath several of the tanks. They made for very fun and weird pictures too!
With our admission, we paid for a 3-D movie and either face painting, fish to feed the stingrays or climbing a coconut tree. Each of the kids chose what they wanted to do. I loved watching Ashlyn & Corey feed the stingrays and at one point, a stingray came up out of the water and over Ashlyn's arm to eat her fish, which was hilarious. It was fun to share our first time at the Aquarium with my Mom & my nieces and nephew!
