Legoland to reopen its aquarium this Saturday, but the theme park will have to wait - pacificsandiego.com

Following a three-month closure due to COVID-19, Legoland' Sea Life aquarium, filled with more than 4,000 sea animals, will reopen Saturday, the Carlsbad park announced Wednesday.

While Legoland and other theme parks have yet to receive word from the state as to when they will be allowed to welcome visitors, aquariums and zoos fall into a separate category that was cleared for reopening about a week ago. The San Diego Zoo and Safari Park also plan to open to the public on Saturday.

"We were really hoping to be able to open the entire resort all at once, but seeing as how we still don't have approval and guidelines for the park, at least we can offer our guests the beautiful aquarium," Legoland spokeswoman Julie Estrada said in an email. "Sea life is not only relaxing and therapeutic for guests that have been cooped up for months, but it's something families can enjoy together in a safe environment."

Legoland and SeaWorld are both hoping to reopen their parks July 1, but Gov. Gavin Newsom's office has yet to make any announcements about when amusement parks will be allowed to resume operations.

In order to comply with public health guidelines mandating social distancing, the Legoland aquarium will be operating at reduced capacity, so visitors are being asked to make online reservations for the date and time of their visits. There will be enhanced cleaning and cashless payments, and face coverings will be required for all visitors and employees.

In the months that it has been shut down to the public, the aquarium has seen the arrival of baby cuttlefish and is currently awaiting the birth of baby horn sharks, Legoland said. Featured at the aquarium is a 200,000-gallon ocean tank where visitors can walk below sharks, rays, tropical fish and other sea animals.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Posted: 21 Sep 2020 12:00 AM PDT SeaQuest aquariums—which are owned by Vince Covino—are plagued by issues: animal deaths, legal violations, injuries to employees and members of the public from direct contact with animals, and customer reviews that'll make your jaw drop (and not in a good way). So if you've ever considered visiting a SeaQuest location or any other Covino-operated aquarium, do yourself and animals a favor: Learn from these TripAdvisor and Yelp reviewers. At SeaQuest Folsom in California, an otter was apparently whacked with a broom. "This place smells the animals look tortured and starved. I'm not a fan of this place. Took my family and we ran out of there. … We will never go back. Also we saw an employee wack an otter with a broom. … If you love animals you will hate t
