The building's exterior is mainly stone grey and navy blue. There are also decolored rectangles above the aquarium's entrance that bear resemblance to a few different types of naval flags. Upon entering vistors are greeted with a small waterfall leading into a freshwater tank containing salmonids. As you go through the building you eventually reach an open area with a open water filled enclosure below and five levels above and a small sub-floor below for viewing the blacktip reef enclosure. Each floor focuses on a specific environment or theme. The floor at the very top is a contained by the pyramid glass roof mentioned earlier and houses a greenhouse-like rainforest section. Afterwards visitors would pass down a spiraling slope that displays an Atlantic coral reef exhibit on the upper levels and a shark tank on the lower levels. This leads the vistor back to the starting part near the blacktip reef. Bibliographic Citation A bibliographic reference for the resource.
