We took all six kids on a "field trip" to the World's Largest Aquarium in Atlanta, GA today. It was not what we had hoped. Granted, we went on a Saturday when the crowds are the worst. But no one had warned us that you are not supposed to take strollers into each exhibit area. There were so many people it was difficult for the kids to get close enough to the glass to see well. It was hard to keep up with our children in the midst of such a dense crowd (and most of the areas are dimly lit). And it was very tiring to have to carry the two youngest ode to the "no stroller" rule. Our five year old got "lost" for a couple of heart-stopping minutes, too. Hubby and I were not impressed, but the kids did enjoy themselves.
Advice to those wanting to visit a nice aquarium . . . go to Chattanooga, TN! The Aquarium in Chattanooga has wide open spaces for seeing all of the exhibits and strollers are convenient throughout the building. It's a wonderful place to take even very young children. I bet they won't even notice that it doesn't have a Beluga whale. |
