On the second floor, there is an interactive exhibit where little kids can crawl through a hole in the wall and into a small room. This interactive also happens to be near the men's room.
Father, seeing the men's room sign near the interactive: Aww, it's a tiny little men's room!

Stingrays (and sharks, and sawfish...) use a hole called a spiracle to breathe. This works as a pump, opening and closing, pushing water over the animal's gills. On stingrays, it is very large and located directly behind their eyes. A very concerned grandmother and grandson approach.
Grandma: Excuse me, we have to ask why you removed the eyes from all of your stingrays in the big tank. The hole looks big enough to put my fist through!
Employee: Oh, that's no their eye socket, it's their spiracle, its how they breathe.
Grandma: Oh, no. You don't understand, let me show you.
Employee: No, really, it's how they breathe. We didn't remove any of their eyes.
[Grandma proceeds to insist showing the employee, who then points out where the animals' eyes are.]
