Boise got an aquarium a couple years ago. We heard it wasn't real great when it first opened but they have since added more to it. We decided to give it a try. It was actually pretty decent. The girls loved looking at all of the creatures.
The first touch pool only had fish in it and they weren't swimming up to the top for us to touch so the girls just put their fingers in the water.
The next touch pool had sting rays and sharks. Ryleigh was hilarious! She would get up there to look and would quickly jump off when they came anywhere close. Bailey sat in the stroller with her hands over her ears because Ryleigh would squeal each time she jumped down. Bailey didn't even want to look. I was trying to convince them and Devin to touch the sting rays. Devin eventually did. Ryleigh said no way and every time we mentioned it to Bailey, Ryleigh jumped in and told Bailey not to.
Bailey was hoping there would be sea stars at the aquarium and was talking about them all morning. When we reached this touch pool she was very excited but wouldn't touch them.
After standing there and coaxing her for a good 10 minutes, Ryleigh finally touched the purple star fish.
Look at those suction cups!

They thought this was the coolest thing and kept climbing back up behind it.
