      It was fun actually. They have a place where the stingrays swim up to you and you’re allowed to pet them. I was surprised by how they actually want to get pet. They swim up to the side of the wall and come out of the water to get your attention. Like a little water dog.

      Thanks for asking!

        I love stingrays and nurse sharks! They’re like little aqua puppies.

        Edit: I remember when I was little, I always wanted to know if the aquarium we were going to had stingrays and nurse sharks (and sea urchins too, they always had sea urchins in the petting pools). They were by far my favorite part of the aquariums.

        That’s awesome! One of my most vivid early memories is petting rays at the Monterey Bay aquarium on a field trip in elementary school
