| The aquarium has
thousands of different species of marine life including
bonnethead sharks, often described as one of the most exotic
shark species in the world. There are also jellyfish,
whales, sea lions, African penguins, dolphins, sting rays,
and many more exciting creatures in their natural habitats.
There is a
great combination of both indoor and outdoor exhibits
available for exploration throughout most of the year. Some
of the most popular include the African penguins, beluga
whales, underwater views of the sea lions, and a 30 thousand
gallon tank displaying exotic fish from all over the world.
Exhibits are extremely kid-friendly, viewable from short
distances off of the ground, making them viewable to their
smaller guests. A favorite among children is the ray touch
pool, allowing students of all ages to touch the backs of
cownose rays as they “fly” through the water.
The
aquarium also is home to many different programs, events,
and educational opportunities. To find out more, visit their
