Old Town Aquarium

[jcarlilesiu]

If you haven't been to this store yet, you are really missing out. The display tanks are amazing and the selection supurb. Best of all however is the staff. They are helpful without being pushy and give it to you straight.

It can get pretty crowded in there, and the prices are a little steep (blame it on the location and quality of stock) but well worth the additional money in my opinion.

If you are not from the city, stop into the neighborhood and make an afternoon of it with lunch in the cute Old Town neighborhood. You won't regret it.

Parking is very difficult around there.

They actually have parking at Pipers Alley Garage, and if you purchase something they will redeem your parking ticket.

The last time I was there, I used the valet parking for the restaurant right next door. As long as you ate at the restaurant, the parking was free. So we visited the store and then had lunch. I didn't know about the free parking with $20 purchase. Cool store, it has LOTS of nice big show pieces. Yes, they were a bit pricey, but they were BIG!
