Aquarium visitors go face to face with sharks Mr. White originally paid $31,350 for the Snyder, and it’s worth $60,000 today.
Although I could have spent much more time wandering through the museum, we finally moved on so that we’d have plenty of time to tour the aquarium itself. As we approached the entrance to the aquarium section of the building, the attendant said that if we hurried we could still make it in time for the feeding of the sharks. We raced to the far end and made it to the glass tunnel in time for quite an amazing sight. From inside the tunnel we watched as sharks circled chunks of cut bait before finally snatching them up in their toothy jaws. Even though the glass was there, it was still unnerving to have one staring back at us just inches away. We toured many of the fresh and saltwater exhibits, and Karen even got to pet a stingray and a starfish. Finally, we grew tired and decided to call it a day. With its rows of tackle and overwhelming number of glass tanks filled with an extremely wide variety of marine life, the Oklahoma Aquarium is a fine place to spend the day. Plus, after seeing all the tackle that Karl White’s wife, Beverly, put up with for all those years, there’s no way Karen can complain about mine now.
