So shark, rays, iguanas, a replicated coral reef and other marine goodies are the order of the day. A general admission will get you through all the viewing areas, Q&A with resident marine biologists, and the tide pool touch tank, hungry tarpons, and the shark tank feeding events… but if you really want to play with pretties here, you have pony up equally pretty pennies. These would be the Encounters (each of which lasts from 45-90 minutes), as listed below:

• Coral Reef – The most advanced encounter package puts you into the ecosystem.

Since some of the encounters have extensive requirements and timing details, please check before you go there.
