Took a train to and from Jefferson City to see the Aquarium in Kansas City. Grandson loved both the train ride and the aquarium. Also had a snack in the shops in the shopping center. This was a great day trip. He went back to touch the star fish a second time.

Do not expect a “tour”- it is more a maze of fantastic water creatures that you peruse through at your own pace.

The process of ordering and retrieving the scavenger hunt was easy. A few of the clues were idly worded, but fun

Got there early and we were able to go in early too
