Our Zoo and Aquarium Expert Says:
Meet 1,200-pound Ayveq, the walrus from a small island between Alaska and Siberia. He's just one of over 8.000 animals on view at the aquarium. Watch seal lions perform at the Aquatheater or marvel at the jellyfish in the Alien Stingers exhibit. A Pacific coast habitat is recreated in the Sea Cliffs exhibit where you'll see seals and sea otters. Discovery Cove is for the kids, though adults will also love its hands-on exhibits.
