I love water, especially the ocean. I love fish. I love aquariums. So a trip to the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks is always enjoyable. I am amazed that our state, smack dab in the center of the U.S.A., has such a wonderful aquarium, but then again, billboards for Oklahoma advertize that we have more shoreline than the gulf and east coasts combined! You can hardly throw a stick in Oklahoma without hitting water!
Gary and I spent over two hours at the Oklahoma Aquarium and were once again informed and entertained by the variety of fish and other creatures displayed. They are currently building a new habitat for their sea turtles and also creating other new displays, so I guess a return trip will be in the works soon.
This is a great place for children and there are always LOTS of them, so if you want a quiet tour, don’t try this in the summer. Lol
P.S. Gary took all of the photos and I really have to give him credit for these. Tough conditions: dark rooms, crowds all around, reflective glass, fast-moving fish. (Albums for the CCC and the aquarium later today.)
