Glover's Reef is located right next to the Aquarium's entrance, it contains 165,000 gallon of salt water. It features moray eels, stingrays, sharks and many species of tropical fish. Alien Stinger is at the far end of the Aquarium, featuring the mysterious sea jellies in special music and lighting effects.

 Sea Cliffs
Opened in 1994, Sea Cliffs houses walruses, sea lions, fur seals, penguins and sea otters. In its underwater viewing section, there are exhibits showing bat rays, sea stars and sea horses. On June 12, 2007, Kulusiq, AKA "Kulu,” a 13-year-old female Pacific walrus, delivered her first calf. This rare event marks the first birth of a walrus at the Aquarium. News: The calf is now named Akituusaq, meaning a gift given in return in Siberian Yupil language.
