One of the things that we are really enjoying about Sydney is that there is so much to do. So much so, that we always seem to be exhausted by weekend’s end. Yet somehow, we have only scratched the surface of what there is to do in this city.

The last time we went to the Norwalk Maritime Aquarium they had a Sponge Bob ride that Lana loved. This was reason to head into town and check out Sponge Bob’s visit to Sydney.

There was no ride, but they had a scavenger hunt that the kids really enjoyed. As we walked through the aquarium the kids had to seek out the characters from the show within the displays (see pictures here) and answer a few questions. They loved it, but I think they were more interested in the cartoon cutouts in the tanks than the marine life.

There were however a few cool things. One was the dugong that was following Nuno as he walked along:

Another was the sleeping turtle. We thought Chelsea would have loved to see it:

Overall, it’s not my favorite aquarium, so sad really, but it’s such an easy place for us to get to and we do manage to learn something every time we are there…so we’ll be back.
