He watches Aquanauts, it's among the actually educational shows we curate for him. Sometimes though, he likes to make up facts:

The Boston aquarium is one of the best. I hope he had a magical time. I always did as a kid.

My kids loved that show. I think my favorite episode is either the snapping shrimp, or the Christmas special where the vegimals sing Jingle Bells.

My kids also still like to make stuff up, but these days it’s more like, “yeah, my room is clean”, or, “I never knew Legos couldn’t really fly!”

“CREATURE REPORT”

Octonauts is the boys current favorite. Quite educational. We just found Tip The Mouse it has some great little lessons many that are concurrent with issues our oldest has at school.

Boston Aquarium is awesome granted it has probably been 25 years since I have been there but still remember it quite vividly.

I love the NE aquarium. I haven't been in awhile though, I'll have to go back soon.

My favorite exhibit there doesn't have any fish in it. It's the shore/beach birds exhibit.

He's 4, so he'll be driving soon, and who knows when he'll be married.

That exhibit is still there, and does have fish in it, as well as some crustaceans, just "off shore."

We also went to see the USS Constitution, which was actually closed for a memorial service. Had we known we wouldn't have walked there. The museum and Cassin Young were still good though.

It's big, but to think it was crewed with about 450 guys, it's small. I haven't been on it in years, but I remember thinking how tiny people must have been, and I wasn't even an adult at that point.
