I finally got to go to the Denver Aquarium yesterday, I thought I'd post some of the pictures. The otters were my favorite.

Awesome, was wondering if they still had the tigers. Don't see any pictures of their salamanders though - do they still have those? Been there a couple times, but the last time was two or three years ago. I loved the archerfish display they had, as well as the sea horse tank, both of those were pretty cool. Have to admit though my personal favorite was the small pool (built into the wall) with the blooming orchids along the stream route.
 
Oh my!! Thank you sooo much for sharing! We don't have any aquariums any where in my province. So this was incredible for me to see! They would've had to find me and kick me out at closing if I was there. ;-)

I didn't see any salamanders, but they had some cute bearded dragons and fire belly toads (my next tank set up). I got some pics of the tiger's pool. They had some mondo sized clown loaches that had obviously been spawning, there was tons of little guys everywhere.

You're welcome.

My hubby had to lead me away from the otters and the sharks. I think I drooled when the sand tiger came up to me and when I saw the lionfish. I told him I need a shark tank ;)
 
Beautiful pictures! I saw this and immediately asked my boyfriend if we can go to the Audibon Aquarium next week for our anniversary! And he said yes, yay!
 
Oh awesome! Thank you so much for sharing! Hey, my Husband and I are heading to Denver March 26 and I would love to go see this! Is it called the Denver Aquarium or by something else? I will look it up on google. Thanks again for posting! You gave us something to do other than the convention functions and dinners!!! Woo-Hoo!

It's called the Downtown Aquarium. Everyone here just calls it the Denver Aquarium though. That's what it was called before it went bankrupt and was bought by someone else.

Wow awesome! My cousin had a lionfish in his SW tank when I was growing up. I remember him telling me never to put my hands in the tank because they're poisonous. I listened. :rolleyes:
