Explore the lost world of Atlantis and the octopus’s garden, slide down an “escape hatch,” wander through the seaweed maze in the kelp forest and hunt for treasure in the wreck of the Spanish galleon. The exhibition presents fantasy and facts, allowing guests to explore Verne’s imaginary world and the real-life wonders of ocean exploration.
