Inside the Exhibition
The exhibit explores the world of sharks, including their super senses, variety of habitats, and relationships with humans. Dozens of life-sized models of sharks illustrate the diversity of prehistoric and modern shark species. Interactive experiences allow visitors to explore shark anatomy, hunt like a hammerhead shark, learn how scientists identify individual sharks, and take a picture inside the life-size jaws of the prehistoric megalodon. Sharks is a bilingual exhibition, presented in both English and Spanish.
