With all the presents unwrapped and the holiday dinners over, Connecticut families headed to the Norwalk Aquarium on Wednesday.

Parents say they're glad to get their children out of the house for a little while after being in their homes during the holidays.

Children at the aquarium can participate in touching sharks and stingrays, while one attraction includes Santa swimming in the shark tank.

Snow also falls every hour in the main lobby.

Another family friendly place is the Stepping Stones Children's Museum.
