From our iconic 80-foot-glass dome in the Wetlands to the 500,000-gallon Coral Reef habitat with a gorgeous panoramic window and awe-inspiring views of sea life, there is a lot to explore during your visit. Plan your path now with our map.

Food & Beverage
You asked and we listened! In an effort to better serve our guests, we have partnered with the nationally recognized, sustainability focused SSA Group, to enhance your dining experience. Together, we have revamped our food service offerings with mouthwatering new menu items with options for carnivores, vegans and everyone in between!

Looking for lids and straws for your fountain beverage? In order to reduce single use plastics and protect our marine wildlife, we do not provide plastic, single use lids and straws.
With the safety of our animals among our highest priorities, the nature of open habitats does NOT allow for outside food and beverage to be brought into the Aquarium. Bottles and/or baby food for infants is permitted.
