Under the Sea at Ripley's Aquarium

Hello everyone! This weekend was my little sister's 16th birthday and since our parents are out of town, she came and spent the weekend with me. :) We decided to check out the new aquarium by the waterfront and it was so much fun! Check out some of our photos below. 

Here's my lovely lil sis, Joyce.

There were lots of little exhibits with fish from all over the world.

The best part of the Aquarium was the tunnel where the fish swim around you. We found a sea turtle swimming ahead.

Lots of huge sharks swimming up close and personal to us. It was amazing!

There's a special section for sting rays and it was so much fun to see them swim lazily about. They're really graceful looking creatures.

 You can even touch one too!

I believe these were hard shelled rays

The exhibit continues with more tropical fish and coral display. So pretty and vibrant.

The last two sections of the aquarium was for sharks and jelly fishes. Here's Joyce being eaten by a huge shark.

This is probably one of my favourites :D

Here's Joyce touching the inside of a shark...not good I guess

The jelly fish exhibit was probably my favourite in the whole place. It felt really surreal and just nice to see them laze about. :)

 We left the Aquarium around 12:30 and headed for sushi since all the fish watching made me crave some sashimi.

Overall, it was a great trip even though the admission was a bit pricey (34 dollars/person). I had a lot of fun spending time with my little sister and it was nice to see the fishes!

Have a good week everyone!
