Rainbow Reef

Somewhere beyond the sea…

There’s a 1,000-gallon coral reef aquarium waiting for you!   Located just beyond the museum’s Admissions desk, the Rainbow Reef aquarium is a don’t-miss stop upon arrival at Strong National Museum of Play.  A dazzling array of brilliantly colored fish, corals, anemones, shrimp, eel, and crab combine for a fascinating glimpse into the sea. 

Come face-to-face with the living creatures of the reef and observe their fascinating behaviors and marvelous survival adaptations.  Around the corner, a smaller aquarium features a seahorse community.

Can you spot Nemo and Dory?  Many fans of Disney’s “Finding Nemo” claim they live right here!
