The Aquarium's newest addition, Ocean Journey, takes guests into the open ocean where sharks, stingrays and colorful reef fish glide through coral formations. Visitors can also experience a shark and ray touch pool and hundreds of free-flying butterflies. The weird and animals in Ocean Journey's "Boneless Beauties" gallery include graceful jellyfish, a giant octopus and cuttlefish. The original River Journey building takes guests on a freshwater adventure, with exhibits that showcase the Appalachian Cove Forest, a steamy Delta swamp and rivers of the world.
