This hippo was standing on this exact rock the last time I was at the aquarium 9 months ago!
The aquarium has a lot of exhibits you can touch...sharks, jelly fish, rays, star fish etc. 
Brooke and Lila...Lila warned Brooke not to get too close or she would fall in!
The penguins and seals are located in an outside exhibit. We sat through a seal show in the afternoon...it was pretty hot outside so it felt good to go back inside the cold aquarium!
This jaw is apparently prehistoric and very similar in size to the fictional jaws...at least I hope he is fictional since I swim at the Jersey shore!
Part of our annual pass included tickets to one of the two 4-D rides. We've never bothered taking the time for the ride but since this was our last visit we took advantage of our 6 free tickets that came with our season pass. We opted for the Sponge Bob "ride" despite our dislike of the little yellow man because we thought the other ride may be a little scary for the kids. I say "ride" because you sat in a movie theater and watched a 20 minute IMax type film in 3-D...the fourth dimension comes in the fact that your chair moved and vibrated with the movie as well as the fact that there were hoses that shot out air or mist depending on the movie. The kids all thought it was a little scary (only 5 minutes of it was animated Sponge Bob) and Brooke begged to leave.
Waiting on the movie...not scared, yet!
After our day we enjoyed some ice cream and the Philly sky line before heading home. Baileigh and her buddy, Emma.
