I live in Camden, yes the same Camden you hear about as being one of the poorest cities in America. Yes the Camden that is known for it's drug dealers and prostitutes. What you don't hear about is the nice part of Camden, where I live, the Camden Waterfront.
I live in a luxury apartment with a view of Philadelphia, and the Ben Franklin Bridge. My neighbors are the beautiful campus of Rutgers-Camden, the baseball stadium of the Camden Riversharks, and the Adventure Aquarium.
As the father of a three year old, and avid fish lover, you would think I would spend a lot of time at the aquarium. Sadly, that isn't so, but we did get to visit it again this past Monday. I don't know who enjoyed it more myself, or my son, I, honestly, think it was me since nothing beats seeing the look on his face every time he sees those penguins or hippos.
If you haven't visited this treasure of the Garden State, do yourself and your kids a favor and get down here soon. Don't be put-off by anything you hear about Camden. The aquarium is located in a very nice area right on the Delaware River. In fact, my son and I walk the waterfront at least three times a week.
The Adventure Aquarium link above is to an article I wrote for Yahoo with all the details you will need to know, such as hours of operation, ticket prices, and features. Check it out for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
