Our Zoo and Aquarium Expert Says:
It's a zoo! It's an aquarium! It's both places in one! The wildlife comes primarily from places like the Arctic tundra, Southeast Asia, and the Andes Mountains, and include animals like Sumatran tigers, white-cheeked gibbons, and siamangs. In the aquarium, the Rocky Shores exhibit features marine mammals like Beluga whales, Pacific walrus, sea otters and tufted puffins. You can see more than 40 sharks in an aquarium filled with deadly sea creatures. The petting zoo offers plenty of animals for the kids to meet and greet.
Especially for kids: Petting Zoo, Playground.
