On May 29, I went on a field trip with my daughter's class. Despite the hot weather and the bus ride with a group of second graders (an experience to remember), it all turned out nice. The Atlantis Aquarium (recently renamed the Long Island Aquarium), has many sites to see, shows, and exhibits. Holly especially enjoyed feeding the stingrays and bought a stuffed one in the gift shop.
One of the best exhibits, besides the fish, sharks, sea lions, penguins, and monkeys was the butterfly and birds exhibit. Set in two wonderland-type rooms, the children enjoyed seeing the beautiful butterflies and were actually able to feed the birds (using hand sanitizer). My daughter was a bird feeding expert from her time at the White Post Farms bird area. Many birds landed on her and one took up residence on her head for a moment!
We had lunch in the cafeteria and then departed on the bus after a day of fun exploring.
