Aquarium of the Pacific's Vanishing Animals Exhibit Giveaway!

I absolutely love aquariums so I am excited to share this news with you and give away tickets -- visiting The Aquarium of the Pacific is the perfect Summer activity! 

August is your last chance to see more than a dozen species featured in the Aquarium of the Pacific's Vanishing Animals Exhibit, which closes on September 4. Located in the Aquarium’s changing exhibits gallery on the first floor of their stunning property, the gallery space highlights impacts of human activities on land resulting in terrestrial animal extinctions.

Learn about rebounds from near-extinction through live animal exhibits, multimedia and interactive displays, and interpretive panels about how we have the opportunity in the near future to avert crises with various species. Visitors can also learn more about animal extinctions, the important relationship humans share with our planet, and our future ocean through a special, short daily show projected on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Science on a Sphere in the Aquarium’s Ocean Science Center.

And there’s an astounding “roster” in attendance! Animals on display include fishes, newts, salamanders native to local streams, and invasive species of crayfish and finfish in these ecosystems; American alligators; healthy corals contrasted with corals overgrown with algae; oysters, mussels, and white abalone, representing species commonly propagated in aquaculture farms; Atlantic cod; and cardinal tetras and discus fish.

Space and the ocean are the final frontier. I love going to the aquarium because I always discover something wondrous and learn something new. I can't wait to go check this out and am excited to give someone else the chance to see it, too! 

Admission to The Aquarium of the Pacific is relatively inexpensive at $29.95 for adults and $17.95 for children.
