Shark Encounter — Attraction in Dr. Phillips

This is certainly a shark encounter, but in more ways than you think. You can learn every which way about sharks by visiting this lovely exhibit/ aquarium/ interactive information center.

First and foremost, YES you do see all kinds of live sharks swimming around. They swim past you, above you and crisscross, though not under you (thank goodness).

I thought the big ugly groupers were pretty funny too. This truly is a shark encounter, not only live in real time, but virtually and cognitively too- it’s a lot more fun...
