This is your chance to get up close with the likes of tarantulas, scorpions, giant cockroaches and mammoth centipedes. There is also a glass enclosed bee factory, which allows you to safely watch worker bees, and a 7,000-square-foot conservatory complete with a small tropical forest and 1,200 butterflies.

Colorado's Ocean Journey


World-class aquarium

Denver, CO 80211
United States
+1 303 561 4450
http://www.oceanjourney.org
Although it has struggled to stay afloat the past year, Ocean Journey remains a popular attraction. It is an expedition along two rivers on different sides of the world. The first journey follows the Colorado River from its headwaters at the Continental Divide as it descends to the Sea of Cortez. Along the way, you will explore the river's depths, and witness a wealth of aquatic life. The second journey treks along the Kampar River in Indonesia, through the Emerald Forest and tropical jungles, home to red arowana, clown knifefish and the wildly popular Sumatran tigers. Admission: USD14.95 adults; USD12.95 seniors and teens (13-17); USD6.95 kids (4-12).
