Audubon Aquarium of the Americas

July 10, 2009 by: Jessica

Have you ever wondered what kind of creatures are swimming around in the deep and beautiful Caribbean Reef? Or what you would see lurking through the mysterious and amazing Amazon Rainforest? Maybe you would just like a closer look at the native creatures that dwell in or near the Mississippi river. If so, then the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas is just the place for you and your family! Enter the world of penguins, sharks, sting rays, and a playful duo of sea otters named Buck and Emma. Explore life through the eyes of a fish living near the Caribbean Reef, a parrot in the Amazon Rainforest, or a turtle on the banks of the Mississippi River! There is so much to see and do!

The folks at the Aquarium of the Americas take pride in keeping a nice family atmosphere and proper, conservative attire is required. They also take pride in keeping a clean and healthy environment for the animals and others visitors, so no outside food or beverages are allowed.
