Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay
Shark Reef Aquarium
A large aquarium inside Mandalay Bay with about 2,000 marine animals. In a shipwreck-themed underwater tunnel, sharks swim over your head.
The aquarium displays sharks, sawfish, sea turtles, jellyfish, Komodo dragons, and saltwater crocodiles. Its main attraction is the shark tunnel decorated as a sunken shipwreck. For an extra fee, visitors can try a touch pool or go shark diving. Tickets cost roughly $30, with discounts for children, making it good for families. A visit takes about 1–1.5 hours. The aquarium is inside Mandalay Bay at the south end of the Strip, and a free monorail runs between Excalibur and Luxor.
