San Antonio Aquarium

San Antonio just opened an aquarium.  They've never had one before so we figured it'd be great.  They also had a special 50% annual memberships for families, so we snatched that up.  Well, this aquarium was not what I expected.  I grew up with the New England Aquarium so maybe I was a little spoiled.  San Antonio's aquarium was clearly not ready to be opened.  Many signs were not finished, walls were not painted...it was a little lacking.  Also, there was not a great variety of fish!  Many of these fish were ones that we've had in our own fish tank.  I wouldn't have been surprised if they had a goldfish in a bowl.

The highlight of the aquarium was the dinosaur exhibit.  Not sure what dinosaurs had to do with an aquarium but it was very cool.  They had huge, robotic dinosaurs.  At first, Lorelai was a little nervous around them because they roared so loudly!

Here's just one picture of the dinosaurs.  It was hard to take pictures because the room was very dark

Lorelai was really liking the teeth!
