From Booklist
Aquariums are not as plentiful as zoos, but their numbers are increasing along with their popularity as we become aware of dwindling marine resources. This book has information on 67 aquariums in the U.S. and Canada, plus a list of national and state fish hatcheries.
Arranged by state and then alphabetically by city of location, each entry includes directions to the aquarium by car or public transportation and its hours of operation. Although admission and parking fees are included, they may not be as accurate because of the time delay between information gathering and publication. Other amenities are listed (gift shops, cafeterias, etc.) as well as accessibility for the physically disabled. A history of the aquarium and its major aquatic displays and programs are given; most feature the resources of the local region. An address, telephone number, and human being to contact for further information completes each entry, and an index to aquarium names concludes the book.
This slim volume is recommended for public libraries where people are seeking travel information or for collections that focus on aquatic treasures.
