What visitors say
While we have seen many of the animals in the tide pools out in the wild (Cannon Beach during low tide is magical), being able to touch some of the animals of our world ocean makes it even more amazing.
It’s really fun to see the octopus on the move between both of the tanks!You might also be interested in our post about the Woodland Park Zoo!The octopus uses the glass tube to travel between tanks.
