With educational talks, animal feedings, the Dive Adventure Trail and a children’s play area, there’s plenty for everyone in your family to enjoy.

At more than 25 authentically themed displays featuring diverse species and habitats, you'll learn about marine conservation, experience hands-on fun and observe some 5,000 animals. Stop by a tank of blacktip reef sharks, which come from the tropical coral reefs of the Indian and Pacific oceans, and enter an underwater tunnel for a panoramic view of sharks as they swim past. Watch a feeding for cownose rays, which swim in schools of up to 10,000 in the wild, and see how they use their synchronized flaps to stir up ocean sediment on the tunnel floor.

Spot a giant Pacific octopus, the largest octopus in the world, and search for a male seahorse with a brood of babies in its pouch. Spy clown fish and observe jellyfish floating inside a tank that mimic ocean tides and currents.Then head to the interactive touch pool, where you'll get a little wet as you discover captivating creatures like sea anemones, sea urchins and horseshoe crabs that inhabit shores and coastal tides. Young children will love the hands-on participation.
