Unseen Oceans

Dive deep into the world's oceans—from bright surface waters down to the darkest depths—at this fascinating exhibition from the American Museum of Natural History. You and your family will explore how modern technology like robotics, underwater vehicles, and high-definition cameras are helping scientists discover parts of our planet we've rarely seen before. More than 70 percent of Earth is covered by oceans, and this exhibit reveals what's been hidden in those vast waters. Expect to experience a thrilling virtual submersible dive, see towering models of unusual sea creatures, examine fossils from Earth's ancient past, and watch life-sized animations of blue whales and giant squid on a massive 180-degree screen. Kids will love the interactive stations, glowing biofluorescent fish and turtle models, and the chance to pose with a partial replica of a real deep-sea submersible. This hands-on journey works well for curious minds of all ages looking to understand ocean science in a completely new way.
