Noble Aquatic Center: Aquaticus

By far one of the Zoo's most popular attractions. Aquaticus is a spectacular showcase of marine life from around the globe.

From the many regions of the world, see more than 1,500 aquatic creatures - California sea lions, sharks, kaleidoscopic coral and much more. An experience where understanding and education go hand in hand with entertainment and family fun.

Your Aquaticus adventure may not always be the same. Many of our aquariums feature a broad diversity of sea life and change as constantly as the waters they represent. Discover something new each time you visit Aquaticus.
