Has anybody been to the Camden aquarium and can tell me more about that place ? How large it is, what species, and if is worth to visit ?

I'll be in Philadelphia in June and I have time left, so I think about to visit this aquarium witht he only year round indoor keeping of hippos...

I went there last summer. It has it's ups and downs. I really liked the huge tank with sea turtles and the shark ray. Other than that, meh. The outdoor seal exhibit is pretty standard and unimpressive. The hippo exhibit was what I was most looking forward to. They had two in a big room with underwater viewing. The underwater viewing was pretty pointless, since it was very murky with hippo poo. Hard to see tha animals in the water, which would've been nice, b/c the two of them seemed to be sparring. Watch your head in there. There are lots of birds and they let fly whenever and wherever they like, as you'll see if you don't watch the handrails. They also have a couple of porcupines in there, which is a neat mixed species idea, I suppose. I hope the Shedd does a better job if they do build a hippo exhibit in the future.

I't's worth seeing, but don't expect the Shedd or GA.
