Deep Sea 3D

The XD Theatre Ride of your life!

You are in a Deep Sea submersible, searching the dark and mysterious ocean depths. This exotic environment is as inhospitable and dangerous as traveling in Space.

The goal of our eco-tourism voyage is twofold: to follow a Sperm Whale 9,000 feet to the Ocean floor and to encounter the legendary Giant Squid. Each is a unique occurrence. Together they would amount to an amazing historic event.

We are face to face with weird and wonderful creatures. Our base is near a hydrothermal vent that teems with previously unseen life. We face the imminent risk of volcanic eruption. Shadows of strange monsters darken our view.

Hold on for the Deep Sea ride of your life at our Challenge of the Deep exhibit!
