Hello friends and family, I hope you are all well and have enjoyed your weekend. A couple of weeks ago Cole took the week off so we could explore the island. The kids had wanted to visit the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, so we made a day of it and had a wonderful time. I thought I’d share with you a few pictures from our trip.
The main attraction at the aquarium is the Kuroshio Sea Tank, this tank holds three whale sharks and manta rays, along with countless other beautiful sea creatures. This is the view from the cafe, the tank is 10 m deep, 35 m wide, and 27 m long. Not a bad view for a coffee and ice cream with the kiddos.
I finally got these two to stand by each other without fussing.
The touch pool was a hit with the kiddos.
They have an arboretum, beautiful emerald beaches, and a playground, which are free on the park grounds. If you are on the island and haven’t been, with or without kids it is definitely worth the trip. Check out the aquarium’s website for park hours and fees, www.oki-churaumi.jp.
Have a wonderful day!
