Stingray City and Sharks!

The Stingray City and Sharks! areas are superb for receptions providing a stunning setting for intimate dinners of up to 70 guests. The inhabitants of this area are sharks and stingrays and when our staff hand-feed them between courses it creates a frenzy you simply cannot miss.

In this spectacular area, fearless guests can slide through an acrylic tube in the middle of the shark tank. This experience is a great photographic opportunity as well.

Stingray City offers a flexible space that can accommodate pre-dinner drinks before descending into the depths of the World Aquarium.  Stingray City can also house a marquee to seat up to 30 guests or as a speaking space. It’s a perfect and unique spot for wedding ceremonies too. Couples can celebrate their union in the midst of the Stingray City observatory.

The Rivers of the World

The Rivers of the World area is an amazing backdrop to a larger reception of up to 250 or linear seating for up to 100 guests. Immersed in the tropical rainforest and mangrove, guests will be surrounded by leafy canopies and gigantic sculptures of the Amazonian rainforest with cascading waterfalls. This is a relaxing and unique area for receptions or pre-dinner drinks. In this area there are the exciting opportunities for your guests to witness spectacular and colorful species from the Asian, African and Australian ecosystems.
