Denver aquarium

Downtown Aquarium

⭐️ Rating: 7/10

$50/ person

All day tickets

Me and my bf had so much fun, there’s even a place you can feed and pet the stingray(it’s a tad smelly at first I’m assuming since it’s enclosed…but I enjoyed it)

Favorite animals we saw

- Sea otter

- Sharks

- Jelly fish

- Tigers (why they’re in an aquarium…🤷‍♀️)
