A Day at the Maritime Aquarium
A day at the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, Connecticut, with our friends from Abilis. Hands in the touch pool, hands-on time with the aquarium's staff, and lunch together afterward.
Hands in the water.
The touch pool was a favorite stop. Guests reached right in to see what they could feel.
Everyone gathered around.
The touch pool drew a crowd. We gathered along the edge to see what was in there and who wanted to reach in.
A closer look, with help from the staff.
A staff member held out a bone so guests could touch it, one guest after another.
Learning up close.
Another guest got a hands-on look too, with the aquarium's staff right there alongside.
Owls and sea lions.
Along the way we met owls and stopped by the sea lions.

We stopped to watch the sea lions, one of the highlights of the day.
A window with a view.
One window gave a fresh look at what was inside, and a guest stopped to take it in.
Lunch together at Yard House.
After the aquarium, everyone sat down together for lunch at Yard House.
A few more moments.
