At the Adventure Aquarium, you’re in for a big ADVENTURE. You can explore nearly 200,000 square feet of sea life and wildlife at this state-of-the-art riverfront aquarium.

Visit a West African River featuring hippopotamuses, crocodiles, porcupines and over 20 species of African birds in a free-flight aviary; surround yourself with sharks in a suspended 40-foot walk-through tunnel; experience the wonders of the deep sea in the Jules Verne Gallery; and you can even have an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to “Swim with the Sharks.”

And that’s all before visiting the Philadelphia Zoo, the oldest zoo in the United States.
