Explore S.E.A. Aquarium’s 9 zones
With over 100,000 marine animals from over 1000 species, S.E.A. Aquarium is divided into 9 different zones. Here are the highlights to look out for:
Marvel at the Open Ocean Habitat
The piece de resistance is quite arguably the huge viewing panel that looks out into the Open Ocean Habitat. This stunning habitat makes you feel as if you’re submerged in the depths of the ocean. Look out for the majestic reef manta rays, zebra sharks and the hulking goliath groupers!
See the jellies in the Sea Jelly Gallery
If you love watching sea jellies (we sure do), be sure to set aside some time for the sea jelly habitats at Ocean Diversity. There’s just something so calming about watching these fascinating animals pulse and drift through the waters. Try to spot the giant Pacific octopus hiding amongst the rocks as well!
Venture into the Apex Predators of the Sea
Take a trip through the tunnels of Shark Seas, which contain over 100 sharks from 12 different species. You’ll be able to spot endangered scalloped hammerhead sharks, silvertip sharks and sandbar sharks gliding around you — one of the few times in your life that you’ll be able to come so close to these sleek predators.
