The new Portland Aquarium has lots of people talking. With it’s many exhibits of amazing marine life, you’d think that would be enough to keep everyone’s interest, but Portland Aquarium takes the experience even further by offering many other activities for families. From story time with mermaids, to summer camps and ‘Sleep With the Sharks’ over-nighters, they certainly have plenty to for kids and families to take part in!

- The Portland Aquarium offers 50% off children’s admission on weekdays, if they bring in a colored drawing. Why not have them draw what they think will be at the aquarium, then have them compare to the real thing?

The Yellow Tang is one of my favorite fish. I came to visit soon, this could be a great experience for my children too.
