Rivers to the Sea

Lionfish, an Octopus, and Sea Horses, Oh My!

Explore 12 new aquariums featuring 100 species of marine animals, a model Marshallese outrigger canoe, and interactive areas within the exhibit, all of which draw cultural and conservation connections from America's major watersheds to the oceans.

The addition of diverse ocean species provides the opportunity to learn about marine life not native to our area. Learn about lionfish, sea horses, octopus, moon jellies, just to name a few. Enjoy our new tidepool touch tank and pop-up bubble in the kelp forest.

Thank you to our generous donors for making this incredible exhibit come to life.
