The Sea Life Aquarium recreates that "Under the Sea" vibe, and you don't even have to get wet.
Located in Auburn Hills, Michigan, this aquarium features a vast collection of sea creatures under one roof. Walking from exhibit to exhibit, you'll find fish, seahorses, sharks and more housed alongside jellyfish, manta rays and octopuses.

Although not one of the most expansive collections of sea-life I've ever seen, it was better than I expected. There are more than 200 different species encased behind spectacular aquariums.
The Exhibits
The Jellyfish Exhibit was definitely my fave. With the push of a button, kids could change the color of the lights that illuminated the ghost-like figures behind a wall of glass. It was amazing (understatement).
The oldest was partial to the Stingray Bay Exhibit. They are actually quite the characters and look like they are smiling at you as they glide by. It was an awesome experience.
The littlest was drawn to the Doodle Reef. She liked coloring her own fish and loved watching it come to life in the interactive digitized aquarium.
Walk under the tunnel of the Tropical Ocean Exhibit and you'll be transported again to another world. Filled with sharks, sea turtles and gigantic fish- you'll feel like you are truly underwater, swimming with the fishes.
This aquarium really surprised me with the quality of the exhibition spaces and the quantity of sea creatures swimming around. You're kids will definitely love it; it's a great experience for a rainy day. You'll find lots of things to see and do and this experience will keep them busy but it's definitely not up to par with heavy-hitters we've visited like The National Aquarium in Baltimore and the Georgia Aquarium.
Added Bonus: Everyone had a fantastic time playing in the indoor playscape at the tail-end of the aquarium. Plan on spending a ton of time here.
