Jon Dunn ReportingIf you didn't get the chance to visit the Living Planet Aquarium Preview Exhibit while it was at the Gateway, now you have another chance. But you will have to go further south this time.
The Exhibit is opening June 23rd at a new location: 725 East 10600 South in Sandy. The new aquarium is twice as big as the Gateway location.
"Before we were there for even two years we had outgrown it," says Aquarium operations director Madeline Runburg.
The plans are to still build the permanent home in Salt Lake City, but Sandy wooed the aquarium to its current location for now, and maybe for good.
"I think change is inevitable. I wish I had a crystal ball to know where we'd be in fire years, but I don't," says Runburg.
She says they won't count out any offers, but they have land ready in Salt Lake and are still planning to make the capitol their home.
