That Fish Place/That Pet Place
- This is biggest pet store I know of. The store is 88,000 square feet. This is a must see for people who like to pamper their pets or who would like the chance to pet a stingray. That's right I said stingrays, they have a tank where you get to pet the stingrays. It is such a unique and fun experience. That is why I have this store listed under attractions, it is a must see.
