Mystic Aquarium

We spent the day at the Mystic Aquarium. It is definitely one of the finest aquariums in the country. The highlight of our visit was seeing the Baluga whales and being able to touch the sting rays in the ray pool. One of the most interesting exhibits was the jelly fish/sea nettle collection. The range in color and size of these creatures is fascinating. The largest jelly fish can grow to be over 200 feet long. We see quite a few small jelly fish in the Chesapeake Bay in the summer. We don't see a many on the Sound. Hundreds of varieties of fish were on display. It was a great learning experience for all of us.
