The Tropical Cove in Ocean Journey beckons visitors into a misty, tropical rainforest paradise filled with vibrant blossoms, lush greenery, the echoing cries of lemurs and a unique touch station. The space’s open-concept design allows guests to wander through a diverse collection of exhibits representing exotic tropical and island ecosystems.

As they enter, visitors may be lucky enough to spot a community of lemurs ambling along a raised path arcing over the entrance. Once inside, they’ll see a towering recreation of the rainforests and spiny forests the lemurs call home in their native Madagascar.

Deeper inside the Tropical Cove, Stingray Bay is the Aquarium’s largest touch station, with more than 100 feet of shoreline. Guests can touch several different shark and stingray species while Aquarium staff members share interesting facts about these animals from a tropical-themed tiki hut.
