The world’s best underwater hotels
Atlantis The Palm, Dubai
The underwater rooms at Atlantis The Palm really are fit for the king of the seas. Set alongside a huge aquarium , they are pretty much the most romantic place you could ever dream of, as long as you don’t have nightmares about sharks! This unusual hotel room costs around $7,000 a night.
Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, Maldives
The Conrad Maldives Rangali Island doesn’t have an underwater room, but you can still have dinner below the waves, without having to wear a diving suit. The Ithaa Undersea Restaurant is located sixteen feet below sea level and while you eat happily, sharks and fishes swirl (旋转) above your head. Set menus cost upwards of $300 per person. Book at least a couple of weeks ahead.
Utter Inn, Västerås, Sweden
The Utter Inn was designed by local artist Mikael Genberg and is one of the cheapest underwater hotels out there, floating on Lake Mälaren, near Stockholm. From $250 a night, this is more like an unusual ship’s cabin than luxury (奢侈的) accommodation, but as an appealing twist on traditional Swedish living, it’s now a very fashionable place to spend the weekend.
Jules’ Undersea Lodge, Key Largo, Florida
Jules’ Undersea Lodge is named after the author of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and is the oldest underwater hotel, surrounded by angelfish and other species off the coast of Florida. Getting there is somewhat of a challenge — it’s located 21 feet beneath the surface of the sea. Brave couples can stay the night here for $800.

ALL NEW!
REPTILE PETTING ZOO
at the Oak Park Nature Center
Kids! Are you tired of Mom or Dad dragging you to the same old petting zoos where (if you’re lucky) you might get to touch a little rabbit or goat?
Mom or Dad! Are you tired of hearing your kids complain about how animals in the same old petting zoos are boring?
Consider This:
The fact is that most mammals are boringly warm furry and come in a limited range of dull colors. Reptiles, on the other hand, are cold-blooded and covered with scale (鳞) of attractive colors, from bright green to bright red to dark purple-red. Some, like the chameleon can even CHANGE colors. Did you ever see a rabbit with scales and a purple tongue almost as long as its body? NO! In our zoo, you can see pet skink (小蜥蜴), snakes, bearded dragons and other attractive creatures! Learn what these reptiles eat and how they care for their babies, which ones live in the desert and which live in wetlands, which ones are meat-eaters and which are vegetarians, which ones are deadly poisonous and which are not.
So Remember:
If you’re bored with furry animals like rabbits...
Then the place for YOU is the Reptile Petting Zoo!
Bring the WHOLE family — Grandpa, Grandma, Cousin Irene, even baby Joe! There’s something for EVERYONE!
