Public Aquariums

[Narwhal]

I don't know how many people visit public aquariums who keep fish, as they often keep mostly saltwater, and many are almost exclusively coldwater saltwater tanks, which very few people seem to keep. I have visited a quite a few over the years, and wanted to share some slideshows of footage from them I have made

The first aquarium I have made a video for is the Oregon Coast Aquarium
Footage was taken in the Summer of 2012 and so may not reflect the current Aquarium.
The Oregon Coast Aquarium is an excellent aquarium with many beautiful North Pacific Animals. If you are looking for tropical fish you will find only a few, but if you want to see the great variety of cold water fish found along the Oregon coast then this aquarium has it. The Aquarium is famously the place where Keiko the killer whale, of Free Willy fame, was trained to able to hunt fish before his relocation and release in Iceland. If your in the area I would recommend making a day of visiting this aquarium and the nearby (and free) Hatfield Marine Science center (that's another video) while in Newport. If you have been here I would like to hear your thoughts.

This has the makings of becoming a great thread.Everyone who visits public aquariums can post their videos and photos here....with Narwhal's permission of course.

Adventure Aquarium in Camden New Jersey is pretty decent.They are very heavy on saltwater displays but some of them are quite massive.

Cool stuff guys, I always enjoy seeing public aquariums in other places. We always go to Sea Life here in Michigan once a year and usually it's around the end of January so I'll be sure to take pics to share here when we do in a few weeks.

Few pics from the aquarium in Wilmington, NC. Mostly saltwater and local wildlife. We evacuated during hurricane Irma and it turned into a vacation.

I went there about 3 years ago. I didn't think I would like it as much as I did. It was a great aquarium.

Here is a link to my thread on the Taiwan, Kenting Public Aquarium.
