Why you should go…

Ripley's Aquarium sits inside Broadway at the Beach and centers on a 750,000-gallon tank crossed by a slow-moving glass tunnel walkway. Sharks, sawfish, and sea turtles glide overhead while separate galleries hold jellyfish, seahorses, and a touch tank. Daily dive shows narrate feedings for visitors gathered around the main tank.
