What are your favorite public aquariums? Lets see some pics from aquariums around the world. Below I've posted some pics of my visit to the Shedd Aquarium is Chicago. Forgive the image quailty. They were taken in really low light without a tripod. Some were even taken with my iPhone camera.

So there's just a small sample of what's avalible at Shedd. I only took pictures of a small portion of what they have there. They also have a huge freshwater portion if you're interested in that.

Now it's your turn. Let's see some other public aquariums.
 
Thanks for the compliments guys.

I think that he was talking about the 6th picture on the thread. I have it labled as "eel?"

The only public aquariums I have been to are the Denver Downtown Aquarium, Monterrey bay, Long beach (aquarium of the pacific), and the Birch in SanDiego.
