Description:
Designed with kids in mind, but something that everyone can enjoy, this aquarium features eye-level, interactive exhibits divided into the following zones:
Freshwater Zone - featuring creatures from lakes, ponds, and rivers
Intertidal Zone - One of the harshest ocean areas to live in, this zone contains some of the most diverse, expansive, and beautiful animals on earth.
Shore Zone - the ocean shores have dwellers that are greatly affected by the
changing tides and frequent beach visitors. Here you can see some familiar crawling creatures and even a fish that walks on the sea floor!
Near Shore Zone - The zone features a lot more recognizable species, including snake-like eels to creatures with eight arms and hard shells
Offshore Zone - This zone is anything but boring! As the ocean gets deeper, you find unusual creature of unusual shapes, colors, and sizes.
