Spring Break arrived and my family decided to spend a few days touring the more central part of the Oregon coast. Although we live on the coast, we don’t go down south too often, and decided that we would take advantage of the time that we got off from Spring Break. Most of our time was spent in either Newport of Lincoln City.
One of the places that we made sure to visit was the Oregon Coast Aquarium. We visited it a few years ago, but it had been awhile, and so we decided to visit it again. It is a cool aquarium and is rated in the top 10 aquariums by USA Today. I snapped a couple of pics of the place.
There was a building that you could go into with a name along the lines of “In to the Deep.” It featured three giant tanks—that you walk right through. From this picture you can see the tunnels that you could walk through. Even the floor featured some glass. It’s pretty amazing to watch marine life swim all around you.
The tanks even featured some sharks. Not Great Whites, but they still had some that you wouldn’t want to be swimming with.
From here you can sort of get an idea of what the tunnel was like to be in. This was a sting ray swimming above my head.
The aquarium feature a bunch of exotic fish as well.
This isn’t your typical pet fish, though it would be cool to have one of these as a pet.
I found Dory, now only Nemo is left to look for. I keep forgetting what movie their from. :-)
