This lived up to its billing as one of the top attractions
in the state of Iowa. We spent almost four hours at the Mississippi River
Museum and Aquarium.
The second floor is all about turtles, some on the
endangered list, some very unique in looks. There was an alligator, a beaver
family, and a tank where you can touch and feel fish. I chose not to take
advantage of that option. There was another attached building that had a lot of hands on displays of early river travel. Very interesting.

We drive by this on our way to D's family. It looks interesting, but was closed this last time through--too bad, because I would have begged to stay and see it!
ReplyDeleteLoved reading about this. I'm a big fan of the Mississippi River, as I used to live alongside it in my childhood days (Vicksburg, MS).
