Hey,
Not sure if this topic has been done before. I always try and visit the aquarium if I visit the city. Was wondering what other peoples favourites were?
U.K - no 1 = Hull, The Deep - Really cool Marine pond and super massive big tank featuring huge ragged tooth sharks.
International - no 1 = Chicago, Shedd Aquarium - Really nice displays, fish all looked healthy. Awsome amazon biotopes with real plants and anacondas! I don't normally like seeing mammals in aquariums but the dolphin enclosure is vast and not coloured blue like a swimming pool, they seemed happy and can hide from the crowds if they want.
no 2 = Vienna, 2 really nice aquariums in this city - "House of the Sea" - in an old air raid bunker, the best planted tanks I've seen in public aquariums, lots of breeding shrimp. "Imperial Zoo" - Massive living reef display Coral growing like crazy, big shoals of anthias, like a slice of Red Sea.
I've had the miss-fortune to visit some bad ones too....
I think Monteray Bay would be top of my "to see list" - Oh well
