Oceans Shark Touch Pool

Shark PettingAs you go through the Oceans exhibit, don't miss the highlight of this experience -  the Firestone Gallery featuring the shark touch pool.  A school of dog sharks provides a wonderful opportunity for the young (and young at heart!) to have a personal encounter with these mythic and misunderstood creatures of the deep.  The towering ceiling is festooned with colorful banners, while the pool itself is surrounded by a wall just at the right height for kids to observe the sharks.  After their personal encounters, the little ones can dry their hands inside the jaws of a shark!

Show Time:  9am-5pm Daily (9am-4pm off season)
Admission:  Included with regular Zoo admission
