About this adventure
Families can marvel at the massive 500,000-gallon Coral Reef gallery filled with sharks, sea turtles, and stingrays, and walk through the warm mangrove wetlands dome to spot free-flying coastal birds and playful river otters. Outside, children love cooling off in the zero-depth Splash Pad water playground featuring dump buckets, pirate ship slides, and shaded lounger seating for parents. Diaper changing stations and nursing suites are located on both levels.
