Ocean themed bowling!

And the great aquarium stocked with native freshwater species - OUTSTANDING!

This would make for a great social event for 2015! You hoo!!

If you guys have been to the one in Toronto, you'll love this one in Ottawa I am sure.  I hang around at the aquarium for an hour everytime I go there   Really liked the native species in their natural setup...

I wonder how they get the permits to transport native species...I guess for profit opens up doors.

Generally if you want to deal with/keep native wild species you need to have a person on staff who has a college degree in keeping wildlife, as well as special permits and be open for inspections to insure the wild population is not affected. So, while a hobbyist could get the proper degree and permits/inspections it would cost even more than a salt water tank!
