The last time I visited with my 4 year old I made a “Scavenger Hunt” page for her.

I “googled” pictures of various sharks, fish, penguins, etc, and printed them out. I also included the names of the sharks, fish, penguins on the page next to the picture. As we walked through the aquarium she searched for the names and the sharks, fish, penguins. When she found them she checked them off ( with stickers) of her “scavenger hunt” page and since she found all of the items on her list at the end of the visit she got a special treat from the gift shop. I laminated the page and since she used stickers .. we can re-use it over and over and over.
