The first time that I visited the Aquarium I was excited, but also wasn’t head over heels because I have visited aquariums before.  However, the Branson Aquarium at the Boardwalk went above and beyond anything that you may expect.  They renovated the old Grand Palace grounds in the middle of ’76 Boulevard into an amazing spectacle.  You will learn all sorts of information about sea life, and enjoy interactive activities that really bring you close to nature.
