THE BEST OF BRANSON Aquarium at the Boardwalk captures the wonder of the ocean and connects you with sea life in a beautiful and intimate way. The journey begins on a classic boardwalk where you'll encounter a Giant Pacific Octopus and many more coral reef species. Be sure to take in the charming fish-forward setting and enjoy the seahorse carousel photo op, fortune telling clam (a.k.a. The Great Clambino), and the "Puffer- Pucker" contest. All of this happens on your way to the Submarine Adventure, a 5D ride that takes you to the bottom of the ocean. Be on the lookout for friendly fish who sometimes take visitors off-course to dock at an underwater lookout station. That's right, the rest of your journey is spent exploring the ocean from the inside, as you make your way back up to the surface through 10 zones of fish & fun! Take your time to observe the fantastical worlds beneath the sea while experiencing the interactions of more than 250 species and 7,200 individual fish, including our rescued sea turtle, Miss Archie. Plus, you can pet sharks, stingrays, and anemones. Director of Husbandry, Steve Bitter, says, "We wanted to have as many animal species as possible, but we had to make sure they could all live together in harmony for their entire lives. Tropical reef fish actually have complex social lives, and we encourage Guests to get up close and observe our fish's habits and behaviors." Your visit also supports Coral Restoration Foundation™, a non-profit that's actively restoring depleted coral reefs on a massive scale. The Aquarium is located at Branson Boardwalk, a developing entertainment complex, offering complimentary parking, a free Dancing Waters Fountain Show every half hour, and a Beer Garden with flavor- infused ice cream and snacks.
