Wonders of wildlife - aquarium and fish museum

Recently I was in Springfield Missouri visiting some friends. I took time to explore Springfield a little and one of the places I went was BassPro Shops Wonders of Wildlife museum and aquarium.

The wonders of wildlife museum is huge, I walked around for 3 hours and didn't see everything. I had started out in the aquarium part and was blown away by the size and detail that was put into it.

Initially when I seen the first few fish tanks I moved on quickly, I know it sounds weird but I was more interested history that was displayed than I was the fish tanks. Things like Ernest Hemingway's boat and fishing hall of fame. Also I was trying to find things to take photos of other than just the fish.

I spent some time around the lit up walk ways trying to find interesting angles for photos. I know people were looking at me weird for standing around so long, taking photos of stairs. I do kind of wonder what was going through their mind, but nobody said anything.

It wasn't until I got to the jelly fish tanks that I got interested in what was inside the tanks.

I stayed in this area for a while it was a very popular spot. I would go up to the tanks and take some photos and watch the jelly fish, then I would move out of the way and let others have room at the tanks. I repeated this for a while.

By the time I got through the aquarium I was worn out, thirsty, hungry, and ready to get out of there.

All in all I had a great time but I should've come at a different time of the year because the museum was packed with people. I also should have brought my dslr because the bigger sensor would have helped a lot. Next time I am in Springfield this will be a place that I want to go to again.
