Our Aquarium...

I have to agree with Dr. Goodall on this. Last summer, my son and his family and I went to the Aquarium so that the three kids could see the displays and watch the show they put on with the dolphins. It was grossly overpriced, and the show was pathetic. 

My son remembers when he was little and we had a family membership there,
and they had polar bears, killer whales, dolphins, otters, water fowl, and a show every couple of hours that was really worth seeing. Now, the polar bears and the killer whales are gone, the otters have been moved elsewhere, and it isn't the same experience at all, unless you count paying three prices to get in as being a real thrill. The grandchildren, never having seen anything like it, were impressed, but us three adults were definitely underwhelmed.

The Aquarium here today is a real rip-off, and both we and the animals would be better off without it. The excuse that it's performing useful science is bullshit.
It's just a money grab for the Parks Board, and a blight on our reputation.
