Unseen Oceans

Dive deep into the ocean's mysteries at the Grand Rapids Public Museum's Unseen Oceans exhibit. This American Museum of Natural History production takes families on an exploration from the bright surface waters down to the darkest depths, using cutting-edge technology like robotics, satellite imaging, and high-definition cameras to reveal what scientists are discovering about our planet's vast blue expanses. Your visit includes plenty of hands-on experiences and visual wonders. Step into an immersive submersible theatre for a virtual underwater adventure, marvel at oversized models of unusual sea creatures, examine fossils and actual megalodon teeth, and watch life-sized animations of blue whales and giant squid on a massive high-resolution screen. Kids will love the interactive stations, glowing biofluorescent fish models, and climbing into a replica Triton submersible for photos. This exhibit works well for curious minds of all ages who want to understand more about the oceans that cover most of our world.
