About OdySea Aquarium

OdySea Aquarium in Scottsdale is Arizona's largest aquarium, where visitors walk through immersive exhibits tracing water from rainfall to ocean reef. The Aqua Lobby Immersive Experience surrounds guests with aquatic environments as they move through the facility. Exhibits include the Giant Pacific Octopus, Coral Reef, Penguin Point, and the SeaTREK Lagoon, where stingrays can be fed. Visitors encounter sea turtles, sea lions, sharks, otters, and an Asian Water Monitor. The facility offers SeaTREK helmet diving, allowing guests to walk underwater without SCUBA equipment among fish, rays, and sharks. Daily animal talks cover topics ranging from octopuses to penguins to stingrays. A behind-the-scenes Penguin Encounter lets visitors join the Animal Care Team. The aquarium operates most days from morning through evening, with last entry 60 minutes before closing. Tickets are sold online through the venue's website.
