Break your day into loops that start and end near restrooms, snacks, or seating.

Map overview

Three Loops

  1. Sharks Loop (indoor, early) — Enter, circle wide galleries, mark favorite windows.
  2. Sea Cliffs Loop (outdoor, mid-day) — Alternate upper/lower viewpoints, quick rest.
  3. Jellies + Favorites Loop (late afternoon) — Calm galleries, revisit Sharks if time.

Shortcuts & Reset Points

  • Use central corridors to pivot between indoor and outdoor zones.
  • Plan stops near restrooms/snacks before crowded windows.
  • Note stroller-friendly ramps and elevator locations.
