Our Zoo and Aquarium Expert Says:
Learn about the seabirds, fish, invertebrates, marine mammals, and plants existing on the Oregon coast. In the Passages of the Deep exhibit visitors walk through acrylic tunnels surrounded by several feet of sea water where they can see large sharks, rockfish, and bat rays swimming above and below.
