A few weeks ago we spent an afternoon at our local aquarium...
It is a privately owned facility located right on the Point Pleasant Boardwalk.
It is a nice size, not huge, but extremely enjoyable.
It was very clean, there were plenty of staff, and the staff were extremely knowledgeable.
In my initial post I shared pictures of the animals that live on the first floor.
These images are of the animals seen on the second floor.
This is the area they have for the 2 seals that call the aquarium home.Harbor Seals, Gray Seals, Hooded and Harp seals are known to visit New Jersey.
Turbo came to the aquarium in 2024.
Turbo and Noelani
Their tank is large, this is the view from the first floor.
There were a lot of Penguins, difficult to photograph thru the glass.
This is Poncho, a blue and gold Macaw.
She came to the aquarium in 1991 and is believed to be about 40 years old.
This is Louie, she is a Moluccan Cockatoo.
Louie came to the aquarium with Poncho in 1991 and is also believed to be about 40 years old.
These little frogs were adorable.
Screech Owl
The monkeys were all so active and adorable.
Titi Monkeys are known to intertwine their tails when sitting next to each other.This is a sign of affection and companionship.
This was the hubs idea...
I kinda' played along.
They had an old fashioned "penny" souvenir machine, I had to make one. I have a lot of these!
This is a great place to visit any time of year but it's a really nice spot during the cold winter.
