Get up close and personal with sharks at Flandrau!
With an interactive, hands-on exhibit and a thrilling giant screen film, visitors can learn all about sharks without leaving the desert southwest.
Misrepresented, maligned and misunderstood, the Great White Shark is an iconic predator: the creature we love to fear. This exhibit and planetarium show explores the shark's place in our imaginations, our fears, and its life at the top of the oceanic food chain. Join us to celebrate Shark Week in Tucson!
