"Pet the Shark - he likes it." Louisiana Things to Do Tip by aemaya

I try to go everytime I'm in New Orleans. It's definitely the best aquarium I have ever seen. I'd pay just to see the jellyfish. They have no heart, no blood, and no brain. Yet they live. Coming from a med geek like me, I could stare at them for hours thinking "But you are just some cells! With no direction, rhyme, or reason!" I imagine this is why they just float around. Oh well. I've had days like that.

The walk-through aquarium is breathtaking. Last time, we caught it during feeding time. That action was straight out of National Geographic. Make sure to pet the live shark and to visit Spot, the albino alligator.
