Our Ocean Expo Adventure

While we have been on Okinawa we have been privileged to be able to see the most amazing sights. From castle ruins, to the Dragon dance, to one of the largest aquariums in the world.
The Ocean Expo and Churami Aquarium is one of my favorite places to go. The Churami Aquarium is indeed the 2nd largest aquarium in the world (used to be the biggest) however it is the largest of its kind.
It has 2 or 3 whale sharks a few angel sharks and several smaller sharks swimming around and around. Before the main aquarium we walked through the entire exhibit of smaller aquariums and tanks. Even a petting zoo for underwater animals. SO much fun!
Throughout the Expo portion there are tons of sights to see. A dolphin show, manatees, sea turtles, a ground fountain, and about a quarter mile of blue climbing nets stretching above the softest marshmallow-like blue padding your feet have ever felt. As well as a variety of very large and very impressive Chia Pet like hedges.
It is truly an amazing place to see and is a one of a kind experience.
