We spent today at the Aquarium of the Pacifac in Long Beach, CA. I found it wasn't nearly as good as the Monterey Bay Aquarium but Connor didn't seem to care and completely enjoyed himself. This aquarium had 3 different touch pools, so there was no line ups and you could spend all the time you wanted. Because of this we got to linger and touch: bat rays, another ray (4ft wing span but don't know what species) leopard sharks (1-3ft long) zebra sharks (1ft - 6ft long) a few other sharks that I don't know, horseshoe crabs (weird) and random fish that didn't feel as social as the others and just darted away. It was strange the rays feel like rubber but the sharks are like sand paper, so if you didn't see who swam by you could tell by how they felt. 
Connor was a little dumbfounded by this big guy (Endangered White Sea Bass)
They also had a really nice Lorikeet Aviary, you were able to go in with a little cup of nectar to feed them. At first they weren't interested and we figured they were full, but within moments we had some takers. Connor loved feeding them. Here is our favourite pic.

It's so cool seeing pics of you guys there and knowing we were there too! I have nothing else to compare it to, but loved the giant tortoises, however not crazy about petting sharks! s:)
