Sea Life Centre - Oberhausen, Germany

Last week we headed to Oberhausen to check out a German Aquarium.  Carolyn has always loved anything having to do with any animal and was very excited to go to the aquarium.

English was listed below most exhibits as well as German which was nice.  This was a touch tank and the lady could not think of the English translation for what was in the tank.

We finally figured out that they were shrimp.  The girls were not to sure they wanted to let them crawl on their hands though.

The English translation of this is Catfish.  I don't know about you but it doesn't look like the catfish I know.

This aquarium was also the home of the famous Paul the Octopus who predicted the winner of all the German soccer World Cup games.  Sadly he has passed away and this is the memorial to him.

Almost managed a picture of all of the kids minus Finley.
