OdySea is the largest aquarium in the Southwest and will give you an immersive and educational look into the depths of the underwater world! With an abundance of exhibits and more than 30,000 sea creatures from around the globe, OdySea Aquarium takes you on a journey through the ocean.
A World of Discoveries
Your journey begins at the entrance, where you’ll see a massive tank filled with colorful fish. The aquarium is divided into several themed exhibits, each showcasing different marine habitats and species.
One of the most popular exhibits is Rivers of the World, where visitors can explore freshwater ecosystems from the Amazon to the Mekong. This exhibit features a variety of fish, reptiles, and amphibians.
OdySea Voyager is another highlight of the aquarium. This innovative exhibit features the world’s only rotating aquarium experience. You hop aboard a unique “voyager” and are seated in a theater-style setting. The voyager then rotates through a series of exhibits, providing 360-degree views of marine life, including sea turtles, sharks, and colorful reef fish. The immersive experience is enhanced by narrated presentations that offer fascinating insights into the lives of these incredible creatures.
The Deep Ocean exhibit allows you to peek into the mysterious depths of the ocean. Here, you’ll encounter a variety of deep-sea species, including the mesmerizing jellyfish, freakishly fascinating fish and the majestic giant Pacific octopus.
Interactive Experiences
The Touch Pools are a favorite among families, allowing little ones (and older ones) to gently touch and interact with various aquatic animals, such as stingrays, sea stars, and horseshoe crabs.
For an more immersive experience, SeaTREK Helmet Diving gives you a chance to walk underwater among fish and other marine creatures. Equipped with a special diving helmet, you can breathe normally while exploring the aquarium’s large tanks, guided by trained staff.

The aquarium offers a variety of school programs, summer camps, and workshops designed to inspire the next generation of marine scientists and conservationists.
