This summer, our family is embarking on a 3400 mile road trip from Oklahoma to Utah, aka #LilFamRoadTrip17. While on the road, we are stopping in a few places including Denver, Colorado before heading tout to explore National Parks in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah. While in Denver, the kids wanted to visit the Downtown Aquarium, Hammond’s Candy Factory, and a few other places.

Aquariums are a favorite destination for us. All three of my children are part fish. They love the water and anything having to do with the water. So whenever we travel, an aquarium is high on the must see list. Denver’s Downtown Aquarium had a few surprises for us and they will for you too. Take a look at them and see why you should visit too!

The Downtown Aquarium is home to mermaids. Throughout the day, you can view mermaids swimming around in the large Under the Sea exhibit, catch their show while you dine in the restaurant, and talk photos with them in the Mermaid Cove across from the Stingray Reef.

I am almost always behind the camera or taking a close up family selfie. It’s a rare occurrence to be in front of the camera together in a proper picture. Since I am trying to be in more photos and take more complete family photos, we opted to take pictures and get a package.

Family Edu-tainment

At the Downtown Aquarium, your family can explore different ecosystems, view over 500 animals, get hands on in the Stingray Touch Tank, and watch a 4D movie. There is a restaurant on site too where you can dine while watching fish and mermaids swim by.
