Denver Aquarium

ByChristine Updated on

The Denver Aquarium is a family friendly attraction that’s a good option when visiting the city. You can spend a fun afternoon of wandering slowly through the exhibits. Though not our top aquarium we’ve ever seen, we were still impressed with the exhibits and enjoyed the day out.

Aquatic Exhibits

Aquariums always have neat aquatic creatures to see and the Denver Aquarium is no exception.

This picture doesn’t do this fish justice. It was massive!

These colorful starfish brought back great memories of the Olympic coast!

Land Animals

We were surprised to see tigers in an aquarium!

Kevin looked small compared to this shark as he posed in front of the shark tank. They were circling pretty quickly.

Is It Worth It To Visit The Denver Aquarium?

We found the aquarium to be pretty crowded in some areas during our visit. We didn’t mind taking our time and enjoying the outing, but we had to take it pretty slowly in some sections due to the large crowds in several areas!

Overall it was a fun time but compared to the Baltimore aquarium we felt it was a little overpriced and we were at the end sooner than we would have thought.
