Downtown Aquarium

On the last day we had in Houston we went to the popular place called Downtown Aquarium. The aquarium was opened in 2003 and is one of the largest underwater aquariums in the world. The aquarium houses more than 200 different species of aquatic animals and was given the price of best museum located in Houston 2004.

It was very interesting to see all kinds of fish. I really didn't know that it existed so many different species under the sea. We got to learn about how they eat and how they survive shark attacks and stuff like that by hiding and pretend to be an object or a larger type of fish. The aquarium is a very popular place for families because it suits every age. After we had been there we went back to the house and had a delicious meal with seven different types of fish, i swear that i've never tasted swordfish before, but it actually tasted quite OK.
It was a long and interesting day.
