The Interactive Rockpools exhibit offers a hands-on opportunity to explore real sea creatures up close! These shallow pools are formed by ocean water left behind when the tide goes out, creating a unique habitat for resilient marine life that can withstand changing temperatures and crashing waves.
🐚 What You’ll Discover:
- Sea stars with hundreds of tiny tube feet used to crawl along rocks and the ocean floor.
- Some sea star species have more than five arms—a surprising twist on the classic star shape!
- You’ll also get to interact with fascinating creatures like pencil urchins, cleaner shrimp, and hermit crabs.
This exhibit is perfect for curious guests of all ages who want to learn through touch and observation.
