We went to the zoo today. We were more impressed with their aquarium then the Newport aquarium. I have quite a few photos to share.

My family is going to take a trip there in the next few weeks. The aquarium will probably make me want to upgrade to a bigger tank

My family and I have gone to both the Columbus zoo and the Newport aquarium numerous times and each time I get disappointed going to Newport.
I get frustrated because at the zoo there is more room but at the aquarium I feel like I'm always fighting through crowds.

Both are nice quality. I'm still hoping to get to Boston's aquarium some time.

very cool pics!!!

in the early 90's when I went there when their big tank was finished that is the first place I saw a sohal tang. I thought it was the coolest fish I have ever seen and asked a friend who is in the fish business if he could get me one. He did some research and his cost on a small one (1-2 inches) was $775.00 plus shipping...... Purple tangs were just about to hit the stores and they were going for $500.00+

I though I read earlier in the year that the Columbus Zoo was rated the number 1 zoo in America. Well, after some searching I found one of the articles.

This is really impressive to me. I have been to seven (mostly during my childhood) of the ten zoo's on the list and the Columbus Zoo ranks #2 to next to Disney's Animal Kingdom to me. Someday I would like to get out to see the San Diego Zoo because of all the prestige it gets along with its sheer size.

Three and a half days driving. Id rather spend the money and take a plane. We had too many cross country road trips as a kid and i dont want anymore anytime soon.
