Wait no more! Here's the start!

 

Welcome to the Azure Seas park!

Let’s get our tickets and get ready to go on a grand adventure!

Should we start off with a bite to eat??? Azure Seas is noted for its unique dining experience!

Now that we’ve gotten something to munch, should we find a place to sit?

Now that we’ve found our table, we can see why it’s called “Dine With Dolphins”!

Here’s another little tunnel…it looks a bit like a tropical river! What sorts of things will we see?

It’s a shark!

If we don’t want to go down the little tunnels, we can still see the exhibits!

Let’s educate ourselves a bit more about sharks!

So this is why they call it “Shop With Sharks”!

Now that we’ve checked out the dining and shopping options, let’s check out the main attraction of Azure Seas!

Featuring three levels of viewing options, there are many sites to see over this way!

On the lowest level, you can see where a lot of our animals find food and shelter

On two of the levels, guests will find small tanks such as this one, where they can learn more about small aquatic animals.

In addition to these small tanks, the two lowest levels also feature presentations from well informed educators.

Are you satisfied with just checking out the lower level? Of course not! Up to the second level!

But, you will have to wait...stay tuned for more from Azure Seas!
