If sea creatures are more up your alley, visit an aquarium. Watching sharks glide through the water and jelly fish pulsate will leave you relaxed and in awe. Try quizzing each other with animal trivial while entering a new exhibit!

Make sure to leave a donation before heading home to ensure zoos and other animal friendly organizations can continue their work. You can also go home and donate money to a organization that is currently helping your favorite species. Sometime an organization will give you a birth certificate for donating, which would be a great gift for your partner!
