Captain Nemo's Aquarium Superstore

Today my friends Amy, Aimee and I took the kids to Captain Nemo's Aquarium Superstore for our weekly playgroup and then had lunch afterwards. What a fun time! I had heard great things about this place, which is actually a fish store, but is known for it's over 300 tanks of freshwater and saltwater fish and several special exhibits, such as some sharks and a two-headed turtle. So, basically, it is like a small aquarium, which is perfect for a group of young children.

Here are a few photos of Captain Nemo's itself. First is the shark tank and below that is the waterfall wall in one of the rooms.

The kids had a blast running around the store looking at all of the different fish and sea creatures. Ben and Tyler couldn't get over the sharks and all of the kids seemed to get a kick out of seeing "Nemo" and "Dory" from the film, Finding Nemo. Even the three babies were mesmerized by the larger tropical fish since they are so brightly colored. There were honestly so many different fish of all shapes, sizes and colors that the kids were occupied for quite some time.

Here, Ben and Nate check out the open tanks of carp and other similar fish. Nate kept doing his "fishy face," which is the baby sign he uses for fish whenever he sees them.

Most of the kids (minus Samantha and Brianna who were off looking elsewhere) looking at some of the tropical fish.

Here, the two little men, Jonathan and Nate, stare at one of the tanks together in their overalls :).

Jonathan and below him is big sister, Elaina.

Nate loved the fish and kept pointing at all of them saying, "Dat." (That)

Ben and Tyler looking at some little blue fish. These two guys had a case of the sillies today on our outing and kept cracking up the entire time at things the other would say!

If anyone is interested in visiting Captain Nemo's it is in East Norriton on DeKalb Pike and the web site is: http://www.nemosaquarium.com/
