360 Ocean Tunnel
This exhibit is your way to see everything. Yes, everything under the sea without getting wet! Say hello to big and small fishes, sharks, eels, and many more creatures swimming not just above you, but all around you. If you can, try to spot the star of this entire aquarium — the rescued green sea turtle Chely!

Get a chance to swim with two other celebrities in SEA LIFE Orlando!
Meet Ted, the turtle who helped develop the Turtle Excluder Device (TED), fishing gears that are necessary for sea turtle conservation since this device addresses interactions between sea turtles and trawl fishing gears so they won’t end up as bycatch.
And don’t forget Joy, their newest zebra shark that was hatched from an egg from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Program!
Coastal Rockpool
Calling all the brave ones! This Coastal Rockpool exhibit challenges you to put your hand in a rockpool and pet starfishes and sea anemones. Their texture can be a bit scary to touch but it’s not everyday that you get to be up close with starfishes and sea anemones so surely, this will be an experience that you won’t want to miss!
