This epic 4-D adventure combines the visual drama of a 3-D film with a variety of sensory effects which are built into theater seats and the theater environment. Guests have the opportunity to hear the power of the ocean's waves as they crash along the shoreline. Adventurers feel the salty spray as they surf the coast with Atlantic bottlenose dolphins in search of food while gliding alongside a cast of balletic sea lions diving through vast swirling bait balls of anchovy.  Meanwhile, aquarium-goers can track a mother humpback whale and her calf as they navigate from their tropical nursery to the Arctic Circle. And, participants will be able to experience the greatest gathering of seabirds and whales ever captured in digital high definition.
  • Directions: Subway: F, Q to West 8th Street
