Forget everything you think you know about deserts. OdySea Aquarium will blow your mind. It’s a massive marine wonderland in the middle of Arizona! This place is more than just fish tanks. They bring the ocean to life with crazy interactive experiences that you won’t find anywhere else.
Here’s the inside scoop, want the best penguin pics? Hit up Penguin Point during their afternoon feeding time – those birds get feisty! For a trippy view, ride the Living Sea Carousel. It rotates as you watch sharks and sea turtles swim around you. Seriously, it feels like something out of a movie.
Want to walk underwater with sharks? Yep, they do that here (it costs extra, though). If you’re a parent, be warned, your kids won’t want to leave. Touch pools, a tide pool…OdySea has it all. Even the bathrooms are cool – they have windows into the shark habitat!
