Ocean Explorer features saltwater species from all over the world. You’ll find sea jellies, eels, seahorses and 6 different species of sharks. Learn about why coral reefs are so important to our planet and find out the importance of invertebrates at the Bio-Facts Station. Interactive exhibits include the stingray touch tank and the coral community where the younger children can “swim” around through this magical coral reef, imagining what it would be like to be a fish at the bottom of the ocean.

Southern Stingray
Leopard Shark
