    Default Downtown (Denver) Aquarium

    Went on a mini-vacation this last weekend to Colorado. Discovered Denver had an aquarium call the Downtown Aquarium, it's owned by the Landry Restaurant's chain. For a being a attraction at a restaurant, they had some impressive tanks. Heres's some of my pics I took while I was there.

    Nice, now I have somewhere to go when I visit my brother who is stationed over there. I have been to the one that is in Houston. Pretty nice place, food was so - so with a rather high price tag on it. But it was cool to see either way, they also have one south of Houston in Kemah, TX (near the coast, I believe).

    My buddy makes the waterfalls for all of their restaurants. Long story short I got to swim in them when I lived in Houston. Also got to hang out there for a whole night and got inebriated! Good times.

    We heard the same thing about the food, Pricey and it' so-so. When we where there that morning they where cleaning the tanks. Share with ya'll on how they clean a lionfish tank.

    You definitely pay for the atmosphere. The one in Houston has an awesome Sea Horse tank

    We went to the Denver one a year or so ago. Pretty decent. I LOVED the tank completely full of about 100 RBTAs.
