Many Aquarium exhibits incorporate elements that are helpful to visitors with visual impairments, such as oversized typefaces, bold illustrations and colorful graphics.

Several Aquarium exhibits also have tactile elements, including:

  • At the Edge of the Sea exhibit on the third Level, visitors are encouraged to gently pick up and examine sea stars, periwinkles, horseshoe crabs and other animals in this exhibit.
  • The Thinking Gallery on the second level has a textured handrail to help visitors understand evolution, survival in harsh habitats and the function of fish shape.
