Baby Is 'Scared for His Life' on 1st Visit to Aquarium & His Face Says It All

As parents, we try to come up with fun and enriching activities for our kids. Whether it's a trip to the art museum or an afternoon at the zoo, these excursions are more than just educational — they're great opportunities to make memories as a family. Sometimes, though, our little ones don't have the reaction we're expecting!

In a hilarious video posted on June 19, a 4-month-old baby is at the aquarium for the very first time. He's standing in a glass tunnel, looking up at the fish swimming overhead...but his face isn't filled with wonder or curiosity. Instead, he looks absolutely terrified!

"First time at the Aquarium," wrote Jennifer Martinez . Poor kid was not ready for that tunnel! Commenters totally understood his reaction .

"He looks like he's holding his breath just in case," wrote Giu.

"Same, my little dude, same. You can never be too sure about that glass, man," wrote Evadee.

"I'm like your baby, fish freak me out lol," wrote Bree.

Tips for Taking a Baby or Toddler to the Aquarium

Even super little kids can have a great time at the aquarium , according to What to Expect, but it's important to keep a few things in mind.

First of all, it's good to have a schedule for your visit.

"A toddler will probably have had his fill of fish after an hour-and-a-half or two hours, so make sure you leave time for kids’ favorite attractions, like live demos and touch tanks."

If your have a toddler who's afraid of the dark, be sure to tell them in advance that the aquarium will be "dark and cool because it helps keep the fish healthy." You might want to warn them about potential scuba divers, too, who are sometimes in the tanks to care for the fish .

And if the aquarium you're visiting has a tunnel like the one in this video, you should definitely have a conversation about that, too.

"Many modern aquariums have tanks over, under and all around you. This can be overwhelming to a toddler, who’s still figuring out how the world works (so fish above his head and below his feet can be confusing). If your child seems scared or overstimulated, head somewhere low-key, like the café, to take a break. If necessary, abort this toddler outing and try again in a couple of months."

The aquarium will still be there when your tot is feeling braver!
