I love aquariums and hear this one is very good. Let's meet at 5:00 and spend an hour or so exploring, then go to dinner at 

Spend a day at SEA LIFE Arizona and explore more than 5,000 creatures, including sharks, rays, seahorses, tropical fish and more. The state may be landlocked, but this aquarium adventure brings the ocean to you. Get hands-on with marine life at the touch pools. Take a walk through the amazing 360-degree ocean tunnel, where you'll be surrounded by aquatic animals as if you were walking along the ocean floor. The newest exhibit, at SEA LIFE Arizona through 2014, is Turtle Shelter. Featuring seven different turtle species from all over the world, the exhibit transports you into a tree-top cabana where you'll be nose-to-nose with some of the most intriguing species of freshwater turtles. Stars of the exhibit include the ancient snapping turtle, red-eared sliders, snake-neck turtles and the leaf-like matamata. Throughout SEA LIFE Arizona you'll discover fascinating facts about the creatures you see, and you can put your newfound knowledge to the test along the interactive quiz trail. An entire universe of wonder and intrigue is yours for the taking.
