We used some of our school funds to get a membership to the Aquarium this year, and I'm sorry to say, we don't really love it. I mean—we do like the Aquarium. It's fun to go to…occasionally. But it's just always full of SUCH loud and rowdy schoolkids. And there are exhibits closed all the time. And it just doesn't feel like even close to such a good value as our Thanksgiving Point Membership, which we love. (There are just so many more things to do at Thanksgiving Point! More variety! And it only costs half the amount! Also, it annoys me that the Aquarium "family" membership only includes four kids. The Thanksgiving Point membership includes any number of children living at home!)
However, with all those complaints, we have made good use of our membership nonetheless! It was good timing because we were studying Oceans all through the Fall. And there is a Caw for Gus! (There are supposed to be two Caws…but there is only ever one. Did one die and they just aren't telling people?!?😱) And, of course, there are penguins, which we love.
The kids also like the gift shop! Not for buying things, of course. Just for hugging them and taking pictures.
Ziggy did use birthday money from Grandma to actually buy something. This weird shark blaster. The batteries lasted all of two days. But he sure enjoyed it!
