Waikiki Aquarium

It seems like in every state there is an aquarium. Hawaii, you would think, wouldnt need one since the entire ocean is an aquarium. While this is true, opening your eyes in salt water to see the fish probably isnt the best of ideas. And unless your a scuba diver who has been trained, going into deeper water probably isnt a good idea either. So thats why Hawaii created the Waikiki Aquarium, where the non-scuba divers can go. Its a rather small place but its got a pretty good animal display. The price is pretty good, and the gift shop isnt half bad either. The Aquarium shows animals like the shark, octopus (if you can find it) and my personal favorite, the Eel.

In one area you can find sharks swimming around with groupers. For 25 cents you can get even closer to the sharks via a camera ball in the tank. Once your done with the inside portion of the aquarium, make your way outside where there is a monk seal, and an area where you can touch sea urchins.
