The Center for Technological Sea Studies and Aqua Culture is an aquarium exhibit that provides an up close look at the native species of the inter-tidal zone and the northern gulf coast. Here, you can watch octopus, sea horses, shrimp, and a large variety of fish species. You are also able to feed the Sea Turtles and Sea Lions (squid and fish available to purchase). You can also pay $10 and go inside the tank and hand feed the Sea Lions up close and personal. It’s like a miniature Sea World, but for a whole lot less $$. CET-MAR Aquarium is located at 43 Las Conchas Road, just before you enter the main guard gate for Las Conchas. Schools, families, tours, individuals and groups are welcome.
