One of the places that I really wanted to go with the kids this summer was the Turkuazoo Aquarium. I love taking kids to see animals. I don't think I know a kid that doesn't like some kid of animal. So, I've been pushing for the Istanbul Zoo, but have been told many times I would be greatly disappointed compared to what I am used to. Considering I had a hard time seeing the animals in small cages at the National Zoo in DC, I think I may avoid the Istanbul Zoo...unless I become a millionaire and am able to take all of the animals that I consider to be in poor living environments and care for them myself.
Turkuazoo is in the largest Mall in Europe, Forum Istanbul. I am in love with this mall and have even ventured the 2 hours (by public transportation) there myself, just to see a movie and shop! It even has a grocery store in it that would put any Super Walmart to shame!

One side street of the huge complex!
Anyway... and now, back to Turkuazoo!
