From Oregon to Japan, from South Australia to South Africa, cold ocean waters teem with fish and marine mammals. Beneath the waves curious animals such as Australian weedy sea dragons, garibaldi damselfish and Japanese spider crabs hang among rocky ledges and kelp forests.
Georgia-Pacific's Cold Water Quest gallery has reopened, and it is bigger and better than ever!
The beluga whales are now joined by harbor seals in their exhibit, greeting guests as they enter. The African penguin exhibit is brand new, housing twice as many birds in an interactive and engaging exhibit. Their new accommodations feature more than 25 nesting areas integrated into naturalistic rockwork and come equipped with a state-of-the-art lighting system that mimics the natural light cycle from twilight to moonlight. Acrylic tunnels and pop-up windows, built into the exhibit, allow guests to come face-to-face with their feathered favorites.
The gallery's renovated Southern sea otter exhibit has doubled in size and has been modified to include additional deck space for trainer-animal interactions. New "clam cannons" have been added into the exhibit as an environmental enrichment tool to feed the animals and complement additional training interactions. New to the exhibit, a sneak peek window has been added, giving guests a look into the behind-the-scenes area for the sea otters.
Don't miss this gallery when you visit the Georgia Aquarium. Touchpools with sea anemones, curious creatures and new exhibits are just some of the things you can look forward to!
