Our Zoo and Aquarium Expert Says:
The world's largest indoor aquarium. The Oceanarium exhibit contains 3 million gallons of saltwater including a 35,000-gallon veterinary pool. Inside you'll see dolphins leaping and splashing, while playful otters tumble nearby, and the Beluga whales chirp a welcome. In the Caribbean Reef exhibit, you'll gather around a 90,000-gallon circular habitat in order to watch and listen to a diver who feeds the rays, parrotfish, angels, and puffers. Other exhibits include Amazon Rising and Waters of the World.
