Photos From The Miami Seaquarium>>>>>>

Greetings e90Post

On Monday, after a busy weekend at the track, I decided to take the family to one of the "hidden jewels" of South Florida - the Miami Seaquarium. I've been to several parks and zoos which have sea animal shows, but all pale in comparison to the Miami Seaquarium.



The Seaquarium has many different animals on dislay....like crocodiles:



....and Sea Lions:



...and exotic birds:



The birds are very friendly, as you can see in this picture with my wife:



The birds REALLY liked my son.



Of course, what the Seaquarium is BEST known for is their aquatic animal shows. The Seaquarium has been in several movies and television shows and the classic TV show FLIPPER was filmed here in the 60's. The dolphin shows were amazing!















The killer whale show was also quite thrilling...obviously the performer has a great deal of trust with the animal:









If you are ever in Miami and have the time, I highly recommend visiting the Miami Seaquarium! Thanks for looking!

Thanks! My son is actually wearing an Invicta 8926...his "starter Rolex." A 300.00 retail watch is still a bit pricey for a watch for a 10 yr. old, but better than a 5000.00 watch. He'll get his Rolex once he graduates highschool methinks.

Wow you take really good pictures. My inlaws live in Miami and I have never ventured to the Seaquarium. I'll have to check it out now that I've seen these pics.

Yeah, smart man. What brought you to Spokane of all places? My wife's family is from there .... (no offense directed at you in case you liked the place) but that place is a pit.

LOL, when I saw the picture of your son I looked down at my wrist because I have the same watch. Nice watch for the money, it's a good value. I probably will never have a Rolex though , too expensive

I do have my issues with Invicta, but the 8926 is a darn good value.

Very nice pictures! The aquarium is so fun and educational.

And on a side note...

Dolphins are awesome. Would like to swim with one in my lifetime or have one as a pet.
