This stateof-the-art facility holds more than 2 million gallons of water and offers educational, interactive, and entertaining experiences for guests of all ages. From sharks, sea turtles, and penguins to otters and rays, it is home to more than 6,000 animals. Highlights include SeaTREK™ underwater ocean walking, a submerged escalator that descends into the deep ocean, a Giant Pacific Octopus, the world’s only Russian Sturgeon touch exhibit, and OdySea Voyager, the world’s only rotating aquarium experience. COMPANY STRENGTHS: “While OdySea Aquarium is a serious business providing educational and entertaining experiences, conducting conservation initiatives, and caring for thousands animals, we always remember we are in the ‘fun’ business. Delivering amazing and memorable guest experiences is not only part of our mission, but part of who we are.” SURPRISING FACT: “OdySea Aquarium was the first attraction – and aquarium – in Arizona to become a Certified Autism Center (CAC). The designation means that visitors with autism and other sensory differences can enjoy the best possible experience at OdySea Aquarium.”
