World Aquarium field visit

Beth's spring school field visit was to the World Aquarium, which is part of the City Museum in downtown St Louis. The Aquarium has over 10000 animal exhibits on display, with most of the animals donated to the Aquarium as orphans. The Aquarium is part of the St Louis Children's Aquarium which has been educating the public with its hands-on exhibits & interactive programs for more than ten years. As well as aquatic creatures, the Aquarium also has a number of other animals. The Aquarium is well-known for a number of animals that have more body parts than they should. So as well as learning about Sharks & getting to pet a Stingray, Beth also saw the Aquarium's two-headed snake!
