Preview the show
 

At 28 feet high, the Kelp Forest is one of the tallest aquarium exhibits in the world.

Our living kelp forest, an aquarium centerpiece, looks so natural you may think you're looking through a window to the bay. Sardines, leopard sharks, wolf-eels and a host of other fishes weave among the fronds of kelp, just as they do in the wild. The exhibit opens to the sky and the light streaming through the amber fronds helps the kelp grow more than 4 inches a day. In this forest, kelp is king!
