Have you ever wanted to play with starfish?  How about watch an eel swim as graceful as a ribbon in the wind?  If you answered yes, then Sea Life Aquarium might be the perfect place for you.  Sea Life is located right inside entrance 7 in Concord Mills and is the perfect day trip.  At the aquarium there are a wide variety of fish to look at including those from the  2003 film Nemo.  Some of the most commonly known fish from Nemo are Clown Fish (Nemo and Marlin), Blue Tang (Dory), Yellow Tang (Bubbles), and the Pufferfish (Bloat).  After you walk in and get your picture by a staff member you are put in a holding tank.  The holding tank has some animation of a turtle that tells you facts about what is going on in the ocean and it allows for a better distribution of the crowd so that there are not too many people inside the aquarium trying to view the same display at once.  While Sea Life Aquarium is geared towards children, it is just as much fun for us, maybe even more so because it allows us to let loose and relive our childhood for a couple hours.  Sea Life Aquarium has extensive hours and is open from 10am to 8pm Monday through Saturday and from 11am to 6pm on Sundays.
