Exhibits & Attractions

Pack some punch into your Aquarium visit! Moon jellies, red striped sea nettles, and flower hat jellies will wow you with their otherworldly beauty. Play jelly games and learn jelly facts on touch screens throughout the halls.

What can crawl like a caterpillar, do a backbend like a gymnast, bark on cue, and dive down to 600 feet in the ocean? Meet the Aquarium’s multi-talented sea lions and their keepers at this interactive, musical training demonstration!

The beach is your laboratory at this coastal exhibit. Stand dry as a bone as a 400-gallon tidal wave crashes over your head, touch sea stars and horseshoe crabs in an open tank, and get an underwater view of a living salt marsh.

Stingrays “fly” above vibrant schools of fish and moray eels poke their heads out of crevices along a stunning coral reef. Learn how you can help WCS protect Glover’s Reef and other threatened marine ecosystems around the world.

Please note that the Aquarium's theater is closed in January and February.
Get ready to experience the sounds, sights, and scents of the shallow seas. Hear the ocean’s waves crash and feel its salty spray as you surf the coast with bottlenose dolphins and dive with sea lions. 3-D glasses are included. Planet Earth: Shallow Seas is a BBC/Discovery Channel/NHK co-production in association with the CBC.

Outside, penguins, seals, otters, and walruses rest on a 300-foot-long swath of the North Pacific’s rocky coastline. Inside the underwater viewing area, get a fisheye-view of the marine mammals as they swim and dive.

Meet a few of the ocean’s top predators in this deep-ocean exhibit. Reef sharks, nurse sharks, and sand tiger sharks swim with stingrays and sea turtles in a floor-to-ceiling tank that lets you get close enough to count teeth.
