The Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay is home to over 2,000 aquatic animals and is a fun experience for any Las Vegas visitor looking for a unique attraction. Visitors can walk through clear glass tunnels while sharks and other aquatic life swim over their heads. The exhibit allows you to experience a larger concentration of exotic sharks than you would experience on a dive in the ocean.
A visit to the aquarium lasts approximately an hour for most visitors. Families will enjoy watching the endangered sea turtles, giant rays, and many other aquatic life forms swim by their noses.
Highlights of the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay
The Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay is home to the Undersea Explorer VR Experience. Before you begin, you can take a photo in a shark cage and track sharks in real time around the world. You’ll also learn about humpback whale anatomy and their whale songs.
To begin your undersea adventure, you’ll don a headset while sitting in a motion seat. The 360º 3D virtual reality experience will transport you on a journey where you will swim with humpback whale mothers and their new calves. You can also head to the blue waters of Tiger Beach in the Bahamas and experience a dive amongst the hammerhead sharks.
