The Tunnel

This amazing glass tunnel takes you 14 feet under the water's surface to witness the lakes, rivers and even reefs. See sharks, stingrays, and endangered sea turtles in Shark Cove or discover what lurks at the bottom of Old Man River in the Mighty Mississippi. Take in an angler's paradise of Fisherman's Hollow and complete your underwater odyssey in the colorful reef gardens of the Caribbean.

Turtley Awesome Woods

Your adventure begins with a stroll in the great outdoors, through a northern Minnesota forest filled with hundreds of turtles, trout, toads, and even piranha. See Guinness, the world record-breaking turtle from 2002's Turtley Awesome exhibit or visit Brutus, a 60 year-old Alligator Snapping turtle. Don't miss Turtle Town or Soft-Shell Suburbs on your Turtley Awesome Adventure!

On December 3, Underwater Adventures^® Aquarium will debut a new seahorse exhibit and team up with leading sponsor of Project Seahorse, Guylian Chocolate, to educate guests on Project Seahorse's efforts. Seahorses are amongst the most endearing of all sea creatures. It might have something to do with their small size and gentle appearance, or perhaps it's because male seahorses carry and deliver the babies. Found in shallow, temperate, tropical seas worldwide, seahorses are increasingly at risk from overfishing and habitat destruction. At least 51 countries, including the United States, are involved in the seahorse trade. Each year, more than 20 million of the fish are harvested as pets and souvenirs or for use in traditional medicine. Seahorses are also caught accidentally in fishing nets. And the mangrove, sea grass and coral reef habitat they depend on is in jeopardy.
A new seahorse tank allowing guests to get nose to nose with several seahorses will debut at the aquarium's SeaCrits Gallery on December 3, 2004 . The new exhibit will feature 24 animals representing two of the 32 species of seahorses.
Guylian makes a donation, for every package of Guylian chocolate seashells sold, towards the Project Seahorse cause. Special programs will be planned on topics of the seahorse and conservation on the weekends of December 3 and 10, 2004 at Underwater Adventures^® Aquarium. Beginning November 26, aquarium guests will also have the opportunity to sample new Guylian Twists, a seahorse shaped chocolate, as well as purchase the product at the aquarium's gift store.
