Utah Family Time: The Living Planet Aquarium

It's hard to imagine that the Living Planet Aquarium, located at 725 E. 10600 S. in Sandy, used to house a craft store.  The building now is home to a stunning array of aquatic life, and a chance for Utah families to get a sneak peak at what lurks beneath.  Highlights include the giant circular shark tank, a rescued Green Sea Turtle, a sting ray petting pond, and a lively Gentoo Penguin exhibit.  In addition to regular visits, the aquarium also sponsors birthday parties, offers memberships, and hosts live "penguin encounters" for additional fees. Check out the site's "Penguin Cam" (http://www.thelivingplanet.com/penguincam.html)
to see what the penguins are up to.
