Shark Reef is fun for the whole family and is located at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas.  It is the only aquarium in North America that revolves around the predators of the ocean! You will see Sharks, Piranha, Reptiles, Green Sea Turtles and lots of unusual fish in this aquarium.  The jellyfish, Lionfish, Pufferfish and Barracuda are fascinating to watch as they float and swim through the water.  The many types of sharks at Shark Reef include the:  Blacktip Reef Shark, Sandbar Shark, Nurse Shark, Sandtiger Shark, White Tip Reef Shark,  Epaulette Shark, Gray Reef Shark, Wobbegong Shark and the unusual Zebra Shark.

As you journey through the aquarium, you travel through a jungle, a temple and a shipwreck full of sharks!  There are two walk-through tunnels where you encounter sharks and fish swarming all around you.  On my visit to Shark Reef, A large blue Midnight Parrotfish pursued me through the tunnel and came up close to me, staring at me through the glass. I think he wanted to be my friend.  Good thing he wasn’t a shark!
