Water Planet

The crux of the Water Planet exhibit is to showcase water as one of our most vital resources. Stations throughout the exhibit focus on one characteristic associated with water, such as "defense." Animals in the aquariums of this section exhibit interesting qualities relating to defense.

Once an hour, the walls of Water Planet become a 360-degree screen as the lights dim, and visitors can watch a short film about the critical importance of water in our planetary existence.
