Rianne · Aug 26 2011, 11:40 PM

is it in the us? (I know a place with a ray "tank" like that, but i don't now if it's the same one.)

jube · Aug 27 2011, 01:59 AM

Near an island group like Tonga or Fuji?

***Hans*** · Aug 27 2011, 07:30 AM

In the eastern half of the USA?

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 27 2011, 05:44 PM

Rianne: yes
Jube and Hans: No

Rianne · Aug 27 2011, 06:52 PM

in an aquarium?

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 27 2011, 09:02 PM

Rianne: yes

GinnyStar · Aug 27 2011, 11:41 PM

I had to enlage the photo, to 'see' it. Western Coast of the United States?

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 27 2011, 11:54 PM

Ginny: No.

jube · Aug 28 2011, 01:43 AM

Baltimore?

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 28 2011, 01:54 AM

Jube: No, sorry. Funnily enough, that was Hans's guess too...

***Hans*** · Aug 28 2011, 05:21 AM

And that's east coast, which got a no

Eh, in Texas?

jube · Aug 28 2011, 06:55 AM

Great minds think alike perhaps and here's glitch 2

Okay if it's not in the east, is it in California?

Rianne · Aug 28 2011, 10:57 AM

i think thats what ginny asked,(the answer was no) and my guess was there too.

mawra · Aug 28 2011, 04:02 PM

Is in St. Louis?

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 28 2011, 04:37 PM

Hans: yes, which means no to mawra.

GinnyStar · Aug 28 2011, 04:42 PM

Near the Gulf of Mexico?

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 28 2011, 08:58 PM

Ginny: Yes.

***Hans*** · Aug 29 2011, 03:54 PM

Western half of the Texas coast?

mawra · Aug 29 2011, 07:36 PM

Corpus Christi?

jube · Aug 30 2011, 06:28 AM

Photos seem to get lost in translations so I've googled rays in Texas and first on the rank is....

Is it the Dallas World Aquarium?

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 30 2011, 03:51 PM

Hans, Jube and Mawra: No.
Though once again someone had the same guess as Hans in PM...

***Hans*** · Aug 30 2011, 04:52 PM

In Galveston maybe?

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 30 2011, 07:22 PM

Hans; No again.

***Hans*** · Aug 31 2011, 01:27 PM

Houston then?

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 31 2011, 04:45 PM

Still no. The big cities aren't the only ones with aquariums... and sometimes they show up in unexpected places.

jube · Sep 1 2011, 07:08 AM

Can I throw an Aussie flavour in by asking if it's the Great Barrier Reef exhibit at Fort Worth Zoo?

No, but those are easiest to find

***Hans*** · Sep 1 2011, 11:57 AM

Is the aquarium a part of a larger park or venue?

Greenrider Tresa · Sep 1 2011, 04:30 PM

Hans: Not sure if it's considered large, but yes.

jube · Sep 1 2011, 07:19 PM

Just curious to the answer for my question, thanks in advance, in post #27.

Well considering that some aquariums can be built on an half acre and still be considered large if they've got several levels on it like the Melbourne Aquarium does, hmm goes off to have another look, wondering if that's what Hans means.

spacedog · Sep 1 2011, 07:26 PM

It's been awhile since I've popped in so my question is that does the aquarium belong to a Zoo?

Greenrider Tresa · Sep 1 2011, 09:39 PM

jube: I thought he meant a large park or venue... <g>
spacedog: No, but good try.

Dragon Fan · Sep 2 2011, 11:32 PM

Kemah, Texas?

Greenrider Tresa · Sep 3 2011, 12:32 AM

Dragon Fan: Yes.

The aquarium on the Kemah Boardwalk. I saw it in July when I went to visit my sister, who lives in Houston.

***Hans*** · Sep 3 2011, 04:11 AM

Congrats, Dragon Fan. Well done

Greenrider Tresa · Sep 3 2011, 03:28 PM

Forgot to mention - I touched one of the stingrays too, real quick. It's slimy!

Dragon Fan · Sep 4 2011, 12:19 AM

I wish I could say I was there at one time but, Alas, I have not. I remember my Brother telling me about a diner/restaraunt South of Houston, where he and his wife Stopped to have dinner, where people could touch the Rays at the Aquarium. They were following the coast from Pensacola florida,where he was stationed in the Navy aboard the Aircraft carrier USS Lexington, To Corpus Criste, Where the ship is now a Museum.

jube · Sep 4 2011, 03:49 AM

Congrats Dragon_Fan

Greenrider Tresa · Sep 4 2011, 03:43 PM

Yeah, that'd be the Kemah Lighthouse, probably. Very good food.
