For this week I will be headed to the Adventure Aquarium in Camden, NJ. I keep hearing from people in the area that the aquarium is amazing, and is a must see if you live in South Jersey.

Expectations: The problem is, so I hear, is that Adventure Aquarium is in Camden (dark ominous music similar to a DUM DUM DUM). It seems that most people, when they talk about such cities, talk in a hushed and scared voice. Always with a reassured passion that the city itself is uninhabitable. Intrinsically dangerous, and most definitely to be avoided. I have heard it about New York as a kid in North Jersey, Philadelphia when I came to college, and Camden and Newark, well just about always. I have never cared to much about this. The truth seems to be, everything is dangerous in some way, keep your eyes open, be smart, and you will most likely be ok. As for the aquarium itself, I expect to see some cool stuff. I am somewhat of an animal person, I have worked at pet stores before, and had different kinds of pets, so I am interested to see what this aquarium has to offer.

Hours of Operation: Open every day 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Pricing: It is a little pricey at $18.95 a person, but it is nothing that will break your wallet. Also their are IMax and 4D shows that are offered as well for an additional fee.

Location: Conveniently the aquarium has it’s own street and is located on 1 Aquarium Drive in Camden, NJ.
