Cool off indoors at Tropical SEAFest in S.E.A. Aquarium and be intrigued by the latest fishy residents at three new thematic habitats – Hawaii, California and the Caribbean. Over 200 specimens from more than 40 species are featured in these new permanent exhibits.

Visitors can marvel at the bright orange Garibaldis and California sheephead fish as they weave through swaying fronds of kelp in a habitat inspired by the underwater Southern Californian kelp forest. Another unique species featured at Tropical SEAFest is the threatened Rooster Hogfish, named for its pig-like snout and large protrusible mouth useful for finding prey on the sea floor. Kids can go on an educational Tropical Trail to discover more about the new underwater residents and get creative at the crafts zone.
