At SEA LIFE Grapevine, you’ll discover the fascinating world of stingrays, including four unique species housed in our Stingray Experience. Just like sharks, stingrays have cartilage-based skeletons, making them lighter and perfect for gliding through the ocean. You’ll meet cownose stingrays that appear to smile and learn how stingrays breathe through special holes behind their eyes.
