The new $55M destination has opened in Branson, Missouri and houses over 250 animal species.
Boasting ten different zones that feature marine life such as sharks, octopus, eels, stingrays, seahorses and lionfish, Aquarium at the Boardwalk offers a family-fun day out with games and carousels located alongside the fish tanks as well as a 24-foot high Kelp Forest climbing structure.
The building is crowned with a 55ft tall octopus that lights up at night time and the heart of the Aquarium at the Boardwalk is two touch pools, with one containing cownose rays and bamboo sharks and the other housing starfish and horseshow crabs.
Tej Sundher, a Partner at Kuvera Partners commented: “Touch Pools are one of the most popular features in all aquariums. It’s been our pleasure to see the pure excitement when guests reach into those pools and connect with the animals.”
