The new Flandrau exhibit, 'Undersea Discovery' is packed with larger-than-life sea creatures, 30 species of fish and hands-on activities for kids.
Tucson is a long way from the sandy shores of the California coast, but a new exhibit at Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium is offering a look at what lies beneath the ocean waves, right here in the middle of the desert.
There’s a touch tank and saltwater aquariums with 30 fish species of every color. Hands-on activities for kids include, a microscope projection station, an ocean rescue game and a “midnight zone,” meant to simulate the darkest depths of the open seas. Letson said the idea for “Undersea Discovery” emerged from Flandrau’s regular Marine Discovery program, a collaboration between Flandrau and the aquatic and marine biology departments on campus.
“Undersea Discovery” is the latest permanent exhibit to be constructed at Flandrau, following the launch of its “Wild World of Bugs” exhibit in 2021.
