Getting kids interested in water fun and the ocean environment is essential if we want to continue to produce scuba divers.  There is no better way to get the young ones jazzed up about the ocean than exposing them to ocean life and the variety of fish found around the world.   A local Nashville, Tennessee business has combined dining and a pleasant exposure to the beauty of the sea with the Aquarium Restaurant at the Opry Mills Mall.  This is part of a larger national chain of restaurants with the same aquarium theme. My interest in the concept was peaked by some reading that resulted in my recent blog post about the same concept restaurant in Guatemala City.  It is great to see that we have this same unique combination right here less than two hours from our store.

Reading through the website for the Aquarium Restaurant, it is clear that they have a great outreach and training program for kids.  With programs like their Marine Biologist for a Day class,  the guided tours of the facility, and the interactive Stingray Reef, this business is the perfect place to combines a short road trip, some good dining, and a great learning experience.  Aquarium Restaurant also caters birthday parties for the kiddies, a great way to combined a celebration and some solid learning.

I encourage everyone to visit the website at www.aquariumrestaurants.com and take a look at the offerings at this unique Nashville, Tennessee enterprise.  During the cold days of winter, what better way to get the kids interested in the wonder of beautiful sea life.  Of course, for the parents, there is always the Dive Lounge for relaxing while the kids play.
