Last week I had the chance to visit one of the newest exhibits at Adventure Aquarium, Megalodon.    Megalodon has taken over Adventure Aquarium this summer.  Even though I am deathly afraid of sharks, I was interested in learning more about this shark. About Megalodon The largest shark that ever lived has taken over Adventure Aquarium this summer - now through September 3. Witness a 5,000-square-foot exhibit highlighting the evolution, biology and misconceptions of Megalodon, an enormous prehistoric shark that once cruised all the world's oceans. Related to the modern great white and mako sharks, Megalodon was a dominant marine predator for 15 million years before vanishing 2 million years ago. What to check out
Don't miss walking through the 60 foot-long metal sculpture replica of an adult Megalodon.  You will be amazed at the size of the shark.
Great, hands-on activities for the kids are available to learn more about sharks. Touch a full set of 47 Megalodon teeth and view real specimens showing tooth differences between upper and lower jaws, male and female sharks, and sharks' unique system of tooth replacement.
Where Did Megalodon Live?  Another great hands on activity for the kids.
Don't miss the growth series of Megalodon Jaws. View four Megalodon jaws from 30- to 60-foot-long. We learned so much about Megalodon, the kids loved the hands on activities.  I loved that my kids were excited about learning facts about Megalodon.  This is a must see event at the Adventure Aquarium and it will be leaving soon so make sure you see it before September 3rd.

The cold weather is right around the coroner and your little ones will have lots of extra energy so why not get a discount on classes from Living Social and My Gym

A week before the holidays my family and I had the chance to visit Adventure Aquarium in Camden NJ. This was our first visit and it will not be our last. The aquarium is currently holding it's Christmas Celebration, so the aquarium is decorated for the holidays and the shows have a holiday theme.

We started out in Adventure Zone D, because we wanted to see the hippos. The viewing area to watch them was large and the fish that where in the tank with them were fascinating to watch. Next we made our way over to the Shark Realm, this was the coolest part. We spent a long time in the shark tunnel watching the sharks swimming over us and beside us.

Next we went to Adventure Zone A. This part was neat because we had the chance to touch sand sharks. We also had the chance to see Scuba Santa and one of his elves. Because of the holidays the scuba divers dress in Santa outfits, but even if your there during the non holiday time you can still watch the divers.

We also had the chance to check out Stingray beach which is really cool because not only can you touch a stingray you can put your feet in and walk around where they swim. If you know that your child might be interested in doing something like this make sure they have pants on that can roll up easily.

We loved visiting the Adventure Aquarium. We really liked that they had many opportunities where we could touch animals. At one point we got the chance to touch a jelly fish. There were also lots of hands on exhibits for the kids to learn more about the animals habitats.

The aquarium has a cafeteria where you can purchase food and during warmer weather there is an outdoor seating area so you could pack a lunch and eat outside.

Below is a video overview of what we saw while we were there:
