The event attracted residents with diverse interests. Some of the seniors were looking for a day out, others wished to share a day with a friend or family member, others went to observe the beautiful display of sea creatures, and then some went to soak up all of the knowledge that they could from this world class aquarium attraction. No matter what their reasons for going, all of the residents found what they were looking for and more at Ripley's Aquarium! All of the seniors that attended the event were raving when they returned home to Delmanor Wynford about the overwhelming display of marine life and interactive opportunities available.
All of the residents were amazed by the very active lobsters in the Canadian Waters Exhibit. The seniors must have watched for over 10 minutes as a lobster attempted to eat a snack of whole shrimps! After being accustomed to seeing lobsters as sedentary creatures, the residents were intrigued at how active and determined the lobsters were to eat, and how they used their various claws with precision accuracy.
The Delmanor Wynford group arrived just in time for a feeding demonstration, where a diver swam with the stingrays and sharks to display their unique feeding rituals to the crowd.
The highlight of the event was the Dangerous Lagoon. As you travel through a tunnel on a moving sidewalk, you are submersed in the tranquility of the music as you appear to travel through the center of the ocean. Everywhere the residents looked they were surrounded by majestic aquatic animals; sea turtles, manta rays and other exotic marine life that were swimming all around them. The fish and marine life were so close that the residents felt that they could reach out and touch them as they swam by. It was an absolutely fascinating and once in a lifetime experience that everyone must try to participate in at least once!
Ripley's Aquarium provides an extensive number of opportunities for visitors to learn about and appreciate all of the aquatic marine life in the world. It also provides guests with an opportunity to see the dangers that all aquatic life is faced with and steps each and every person can make to help to ensure their survival.
The Delmanor Wynford seniors thoroughly enjoyed this remarkable experience and hope to be able to experience Ripley's Aquarium again in the future.
