From historical markers to beautiful landscaping filled with native plant life and refreshing water features (seasonally), there's more to explore just steps outside of our River Journey and Ocean Journey buildings!

Plaza Fountains and Streams

The fountains and streams offer a refreshing way for families to cool off, splash around or simply relax by the flowing water between the Aquarium’s two buildings.
