Sunday morning, the hubby and I took Gavin to see the Aquarium in KLCC.  It might have been because it was indoors and cooler, or perhaps it was because Gavin loves fish, but he seemed to have enjoyed this visit a lot more than he did the zoo.  From the moment we entered and saw the first enclosure, Gavin was busy pointing to all the different fish and telling us about them in Gavin’s language:

The picture quality is quite bad because the lighting in the aquarium isn’t exactly conducive for phototaking - at least not with my portable digicam.

I think his all-time favourite exhibit was the one with the giant fish which looked longer than Gavin is tall:

He was so excited by all the BIG fish, he kept saying “big”, except it sounded more like “bic”.

The shark tunnel felt a bit weird, probably because of the distortion produced by the glass and the fact that the dome was a lot smaller than the acquarium we saw in Melbourne. 

Below: the shark tunnel in the Melbourne Aquarium.  Even back then Gavin (7 months) showed a lot more interest in watching the fish.

The KLCC aquarium had a travelator that took you through the entire length of the shark tunnel, but the whole experience made hubby and I feel a little dizzy. 

All in all, we spent about an hour and a half in the aquarium but by the end of it, Gavin was feeling quite tired and ready to go home. 

When I asked Gavin whether he enjoyed himself, he nodded.  When I asked him if he would like to come back again, he nodded.  I guess we’ll be visiting the aquarium more often.  I guess he enjoys the aquarium because of his familiarity with fish (my FIL has a koi pond).  He seems to take a keener interest in the things that he recognises so perhaps if I start showing him the Signing Time “Zoo Train” DVD, he might be more interested in the animals at the zoo when we take our next trip there.
