"Don't forget to breathe..."
“WOW. THERE’S NOTHING
LIKE THIS IN NYC.”
“THIS IS AMAZING!”
“GREAT FOR A DATE NIGHT.”
DIVE INTO AN OCEAN OF FUN IN THE HEART OF TIMES SQUARE!
Only in New York can you escape from the jaws of a 50-foot humpback whale, laugh through a twisting kelp forest maze, play with mischievous sea lions, and much more – all without getting wet! Take an unforgettable dive across the Pacific Ocean over one incredible night, where you’ll see, hear and feel what it’s like to live under the sea. Groundbreaking technology and stunning photorealistic animation bring you closer than ever to a battle between vicious squid, a luminous coral reef and more of nature’s rarest moments.
