Lozier Imax® Theater is located at the zoo site, but requires separate admission. Programming changes seasonally. The zoo's newest attraction is Kingdom of the Night, the world's largest nocturnal exhibit. |

| A favorite attraction is the Scott Aquarium, where visitors walk through a zigzag tunnel under the water. Fish swim to the left, to the right, and above visitors. | Penguins,shellfish, tropical fish, sea anemone, stingrays, sharks, exotic shrimp, and sea dragons share this habitat. Moonjelly fish are magical! |
