The Lost Chambers Aquarium in Atlantis, The Palm

The Lost Chambers Aquarium in Atlantis, The Palm takes visitors through a series of mazes and tunnels as they explore the underwater ruins of Atlantis. This imaginative aquarium houses some 65,000 aquatic animals, including 12 species of rays and sharks.

Unlike most aquariums, The Lost Chambers has a complete backstory, adding a cinematic quality to the visit. According to the hotel’s “myth,” a series of passages and ruins were uncovered as the resort was being built -- ruins that were later determined to be the Lost City of Atlantis. As you walk through the different marine exhibits, you’ll not only read information on the marine life but on Atlantean history and culture as well.

Practical Info

Besides the basic aquarium experience, The Lost Chambers also offers twice-daily diving shows in the Aquatheatre, fish feedings and several Marine Animal Adventures that take guests behind the scenes to dive or snorkel in the tanks and learn about what goes in to caring for the animals who call the aquarium home.
