Sea Life Aquarium Arizona has a wonderful display of ocean critters. Sea horses, hermit crabs, clown fish and even sharks. It's a perfect place to bring children, and includes a "touch tank" where you can touch starfish and several small creatures.
You can also walk across a glass walkway/tunnel and look at the fish on all sides.
Although it is $18 for adult general admissions, it's a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
Things to do
The admission here is dirt cheap ($2, and no pun intended), so even if you're not that into geology, it's no hair off your back to spend an hour or two here. It's not the biggest space, but they manage to pack over 3,000 minerals, rocks, fossils and mining artifacts into the place. It also has a 206-pound fragment of Meteor Crater's meteorite, and outside there's a 43-foot tall Boras mine head frame.
Not only is the name pretty clever, but this is pretty much the only museum devoted to firefighting artifacts in the country. Surprising, considering it's impact on American society (and equally surprising it's not in an older East Coast city). The place has old fire engines, statues, fire helmets from different eras and various other relics from across the globe. Who doesn't like seeing fire engines?
