Ocean Tunnel

The Ocean Tunnel is a walk-through acrylic tunnel surrounded by a large saltwater tank where sharks, green sea turtles, and rays glide overhead and alongside visitors. The immersive experience places guests in the heart of an ocean environment, creating a powerful sense of being underwater among marine predators.

Green sea turtles are listed as Endangered under the US Endangered Species Act, though global populations have shown signs of recovery in some areas thanks to nesting beach protection and fishing regulation. The tunnel exhibit inspires visitors to learn about the threats these ancient mariners face and how conservation efforts are making a difference.
