New Brunswick Aquarium, Shippagan, NB

I love Aquariums and really appreciate when they concentrate on local sea life. The New Brunswick Aquarium does just that. It has fish and invertebrates that inhabit the waters of the Gulf St. Lawrence and also the the lakes and the rivers of Eastern Canada.

It is a small but has some fun, educational and hands-on things to do.

The Aquarium has a theme room that shares info of the inhabitants under the sea.  A 360-degree basin makes you feel like you are swimming with the fish.

Outside you can see the harbor seals and if you come at the right times you can see them being fed.

Marine life is very important to the fishing industry and their theater shows the history of the fishing industry in the Acadian Peninsula.

I was visiting a friend, and this was the view from their house. I could understand why they built their house facing this direction. I was taken by the beauty!
