A wonder for all ages, SEA LIFE Kansas City Aquarium is home to more than 5,000 sea creatures. Explore interactive touch pools, walk through an underwater tunnel with 180-degree views, and get astonishingly close to a blacktip reef shark swimming alongside graceful rays in the ocean exhibit.

Begin your underwater journey as you set foot in a walk-through tunnel with spectacular 180-degree views and marvel at the sea life swimming overhead. You are certain to spot stunning jellyfish, clownfish, piranhas, sea horses, and cownose rays. It almost feels as if you can touch these elegant creatures; to get any closer you would have to get wet.

For a more hands-on exhibit, head to the interactive touch pool and feel a starfish, sea urchin, shark pup, or horseshoe crab. Stop by the children's play area to unleash some energy. Then, with marine experts hosting daily presentations and feedings, get a closer look and learn more about the aquatic life before you wrap up your day.
