What a cool little place. We’re looking at homes not far from this area and it would be great to be able to stop in to see this reef more often. I’d have to look into a membership as regular admission is $21.
While no where near the size of other great aquariums I’ve seen such as The Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, The New England Aquarium in Boston, and The Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, it’s home to the largest all-living, closed-system Coral Reef display in the Western hemisphere. Thirty feet long, the 20,000-gallon exhibit depicts a natural reef ecosystem, including a reef wall, crest, terrace, and back reef. There are many other great exhibits to see including a shark tank, Amazon Rainforest Exhibit, & a Sea Lion exhibit to name a few.
Anyway, get to this place if you can and enjoy the pictures and video.
We also visited some of the nearby vineyards in the River Head area including Bedell Cellars Vineyards & Martha Clara Vineyards, where I proposed to my wife.
