On Thursday, my wife and two boys (2 1/2 and 8 months) attended the media preview event at Sea Life Michigan Aquarium with me. The event gave us a chance to get our thoughts on the sea life featured and the value given the steep pricing. That information can be found in a detailed review post along with some tips for parents.
Along with the review, we were able to take hundreds of pictures to give readers an early look at Michigan’s largest aquarium set to open on January 29th. Here is our favorite 25 pictures from the trip. We hope you enjoy.
