Colorado’s Ocean Journey is an interactive aquarium, presenting the story of water and its journey from the mountains to the sea through various fragile ecosystems and climactic zones. The facility, which holds roughly one million gallons of water, incorporates modern interactive exhibitry, hands-on displays, explanatory wayfinding and elements of sight, sound, temperature and humidity to create immersive experiences. Exhibits range from traditional jewel tanks to large acrylic-windowed ocean tanks that replicate mountain, aviary and marine mammal habitats. These presentations are represented as dynamic environments, with immense rock canyons and waterfalls, surprise flash floods and dense rain forests.
