Immersive galleries transport curious guests to local waterways and faraway oceans. Many exhibits are freestanding and offer 180- to 360-degree views perfect for little ones.

See scuba divers, feedings, and close-up animal encounters throughout the day. In addition, the Aquarium offers live and interactive Educator-led online programming if you can't visit.
