From the moment my toddler parked himself in front of the first fish tank and stared in mesmerized wonderment, I knew it was going to be a hit. Once I convinced him to move on from that first tank to the other fish in the&nbsp;manmade, acrylic enclosed sea, the educational fun continued. The Denver aquarium was a crescendo of colorful freshwater fish and river otters in the North American Wilderness&nbsp;Exhibits, to rattlesnakes,&nbsp;tarantulas&nbsp;and bearded dragon lizards in the Desert&nbsp;Exhibits, to eels, stingrays and sharks gliding overhead in the large viewing tank of the Under the Sea&nbsp;Exhibits.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">For just $5, we rented a buggy for our tiny humans to ride in when their little legs got tired, which I would highly recommend as it proved to be&nbsp;a great way&nbsp;to keep things moving from one exhibit to the next.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In a nutshell, the aquarium was the perfect family friendly indoor activity. The little ones got a stimulating experience getting up close and personal with a vast variety of aquatic species; and us adults not only got to experience the joy of our children\u2019s amazement, but we also learned a thing or two about sea creatures ourselves. Did you know&nbsp;Moray eels coat themselves in a green slime and tie themselves in knots as a defense against predators? I&nbsp;didn\u2019t&nbsp;either until I visited the Denver aquarium.&nbsp;If you have a chance to take your toddler to the aquarium this winter, trust me,&nbsp;it will be&nbsp;worth it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Staff Writer: Grace Anders As most parents with toddlers can relate, my days of going to happy hour, movie theatres and concerts are limited to nonexistent; and with the warm weather season of outdoor fun coming to an end, I find myself frantically trying to come up with kid friendly, energy expending activities to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/enmuthechaseonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/enmuthechaseonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/enmuthechaseonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enmuthechaseonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enmuthechaseonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1217"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/enmuthechaseonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1217\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1224,"href":"https:\/\/enmuthechaseonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1217\/revisions\/1224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/enmuthechaseonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enmuthechaseonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enmuthechaseonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
