There are so many amazing animals in the Earth’s oceans, we haven’t even identified them all, but you can view some really interesting ones at Sea Life. Stingrays, octopi, sharks, and clownfish – you can see them all. Visit the petting tank to feel the rubbery skin of rays, and go to the Doodle Reef to draw your own sea creatures and watch them swim. You can also visit the new Turtle Rescue Center, where they rehabilitate and offer permanent homes to endangered turtles that can no longer survive in the ocean. It’s a great activity, and the perfect way to spend a rainy day.
