About the Attraction
Attraction Info
Join the hands-on experience with the touch pool where guests are invited to feel stingrays, crabs, and eels. The highlight of the tour is the 1.3-million-gallon shipwreck aquarium that provides 360-degree views of all the aquatic life. You’ll feel as if you are actually diving with the sharks as they swim right in front of you, and even right over your head.
The Shark Reef Aquarium is committed to high standards of animal care while creating an experience that is both entertaining, educational, and perfect for taking amazing photos. Book your tickets and deals for the Mandalay Bay aquarium.
The new Undersea Explorer VR Experience is a 36-seat theater where you put on your headset and immerse yourself into a 360° 3-D virtual reality. Using VR you'll be able to join marine biologists on live action journeys as you swim side-by-side with humpback whales with their new-born calves, or dive next to 15-foot tiger sharks in the Bahamas. There is also a pre-show area where guests are invited to learn about the sharks and whales, take a selfie in an ultra-realistic shark cage, or learn the secrets of the humpback whale songs.
