This is the Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy. We recently bought a membership, which will pay for itself after the 2nd or 3rd visit. It's kind of small, but there are sharks, manta rays, an octopus, sea horses, jellies, a ton of starfish, and even native utah species (a bunch of kinds of trout). Oh yeah, and frogs, of course!
The Manta Ray "petting pond" is too deep for the kids. They'd be up to their necks if they tried to touch them. 
Here's the Octopus and a starfish. Unfortunately, the Octopus is always stuck to the glass, so we never get to see him in his full glory.
The Jellies are definitely a favorite of ours. Apparently they are more like plants than animals...they don't have a brain or eyes, so they can't think or see anything. They just float around. What a life.

I never knew this existed. It's funny to see what is around you and you never really know about it.
So is it cool even though it is small? How much does it cost, the jelly fish are way cool.
