Swimming with dolphins is fun, but playing scuba diver for a day and traversing an underwater ecosystem is a million times better. That’s exactly what you can do at OdySea Aquarium, and the experience brings you face-to-face with colorful fish, stingrays, and so many more unique marine animals.

Spanning over 200,000 square feet, OdySea is the largest aquarium in the Southwest U.S.
