ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE

The ocean is the blue heart of our planet. It moves nutrients around the globe, helps regulate our climate and produces roughly half the oxygen we breathe.

Ocean Dreams takes you on an extraordinary journey across some of the most remarkable marine environments on Earth.

Travel into the deep fjords of Norway, where orcas teach their young to hunt among enormous schools of herring. Descend into the kelp forests to meet wolffish, powerful guardians that help keep destructive sea urchins in check.

Then journey to Raja Ampat in Indonesia, one of the richest centers of marine biodiversity on the planet, where scientists and conservationists are working to restore endangered shark populations.

Finally, enter the rarely seen waters of Bikini Atoll, where an ecosystem once devastated by nuclear testing has made a remarkable recovery.

Ocean Dreams is not simply a story about what we stand to lose. It is a story about what can return when nature is given a chance.

THE DOME EXPERIENCE

Dive beneath the ocean on our 65-foot dome screen, with whales, sharks, coral reefs and vast underwater landscapes surrounding you from horizon to horizon.

Watch orcas sweep through Norwegian fjords, glide through some of the most biodiverse reefs on Earth and enter underwater environments most people will never experience in person.

Sound and Score
With 20,000 watts of immersive theatre sound, the movement of whales, rushing water and underwater environments fill the dome around you. Ocean Dreams features music by Uno Helmersson and narration by Shailene Woodley.

Seating and Viewing
Like IMAX and premium cinemas, the dome has a visual sweet spot near the center of the room. Seats toward the outer edges and corners have steeper viewing angles and a less balanced image. To experience the film as intended, arrive early and choose seats near the middle of the theatre.

Seating is first-come, first-served, so late arrivals may end up in edge seating with a compromised viewing angle.

WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER

Orcas of Norway
Witness orcas teaching their young how to hunt as they pursue immense schools of herring through the fjords, alongside feeding humpback whales.

The Richest Reefs on Earth
Travel to Raja Ampat and the Coral Triangle, home to extraordinary marine biodiversity, tiny pygmy seahorses and an ambitious effort to restore threatened shark populations.

Guardians of the Kelp Forest
Meet the wolffish, whose powerful jaws allow them to feed on sea urchins and help protect underwater kelp ecosystems.

The Return of Bikini Atoll
Explore a place forever associated with nuclear testing and discover the extraordinary marine life that has returned after decades of protection.

A Story of Recovery
See real examples of ecosystems recovering when science, conservation and time are allowed to work together.

Families, ocean lovers, wildlife fans, divers, students, photographers and anyone fascinated by the natural world.
