4. The Aquarium at Silverton Hotel
The aquarium tank at Silverton is filled with more than 117,000 gallons of water. You’ll find thousands of beautiful and exotic tropical fish. Oh and did we mention there’s mermaids? Because there are LIVE mermaids swimming among the fish. It’s quite the sight! I find it to be one of the most peaceful and tranquil places to relax and have a drink, listen to the hum of the bubbles and take in that soft, blue glow of marine light that dances around the water.
