Dad's Day Off: Sharks & Shots

Shanghai has an amazing Aquarium, that is definitely boast-worthy.
They educate in accordance with the organization Wild Aid http://wildaid.org/ which recognizes China's effect on endangered animal species.

"China is the largest consumer of endangered wildlife parts and products. The already unsustainable Chinese market for many wildlife species is growing. Current projections suggest that around 250 million new Chinese “middle class” consumers will enter the market over the next decade. The combination of old customs and traditions (culinary, medicinal, etc.) with new money, conspicuous consumption and powerful new aspirations are driving a massive expansion in the use of wildlife parts and products in China." ~Wild Aid China

One of the best features of the Aquarium is their Underwater Walkway, which includes an escalator ride, under the 'sea'. This was undoubtedly a huge hit with O who wanted to repeat the escalator adventure and was evidently crushed, when there was no way back up!
