What to expect during your visit

A sea‑breezy day of discovery, conservation stories, and boardwalk breaks — here’s a simple plan:

Start with Ocean Wonders: Sharks! — the reef tunnel is a show‑stopping intro. Then loop through galleries that explain New York’s offshore canyons, shark conservation, and how we can protect marine life.

Head to Sea Cliffs for sea lions and penguins, then unwind on the boardwalk with ocean views. Cap your visit with jellies and invertebrates in Spineless or a 4‑D Theater experience.
