Our Zoo and Aquarium Expert Says:
Look no further. All of your zoo, aquarium, entertainment, and relaxation needs are taken care of here. Three large glass pyramids mark the spots where you'll need to be. The rainforest pyramid takes you into several different rainforest habitats where you'll find trees, plants, birds, and fish native to that environment. Count on seeing bats and two-toed sloths, for starters. The aquarium pyramid takes you beneath the seas from around the world where you'll observe more than 8,000 specimens of marine life including fish, invertebrates, mammals, reptiles and plants (think: penguins, seals, and coral reefs). There's also a petting aquarium! The discovery pyramid takes you outside the zoo and into space if your interests are more other-worldly. There's also an IMAX theater, a Ridefilm, a pool, beaches, hotels, and, something you'll need after all this excitement - a spa.
Especially for kids: Petting Zoo.
Extras: Movies, Educational Presentations.
