Colorado’s Ocean Journey is the latest of the new generation facilities to be built in the United States. It is an interactive aquarium, presenting the story of water, its qualities and characteristics, and its journey from the mountains to the sea through various fragile ecosystems and climactic zones.

The facility tells two contrasting stories, one based locally in Colorado, where a drop of water feeds the entire western United States, and a similar mountain source in Indonesia, that runs through the endangered rain forests to the Indian Ocean.
