Walk-through exhibit with access to all areas; young guests may need assistance at some feeding locations
Visitor tip
During main feeding hours, rays swarm around any hand in the water. Hold shrimp between your index and middle fingers with your hand on the pool bottom—the ray will hover and suck the shrimp out. The sensation feels like a suction cup, not a bite, so don't worry about teeth.
Visitor tip
Young children may need assistance at feeding stations and the step entry point. The lagoon has designated handwashing stations and safety rules (no sitting on ledges or hanging over edges), so supervise closely and brief kids on proper interaction techniques before approaching the water.
