For many young people, the focus will be the attractions. The park has over 40 rides, including five exciting roller coasters.
Aquarium at the Boardwalk
With over 250 different kinds of marine life, this walkthrough aquarium has colorful exhibits, beautiful displays, and opportunities to touch sea creatures like stingrays and starfish. The Aquarium even has group discount rates for groups of 15 or more.
You’ll see sharks, jellyfish, seahorses, and more fish species than you can count. Draw a fish and watch it come to life on a fun, interactive screen. Take a 5-D submarine ride to the ocean floor and learn about the fish you find along the way. They even have a large coral reef where you can view the tropical fish and marine life that live there.
