Kelp Forest

(2.2 min)
Tour the Kelp Forest exhibit from the inside with one of our “underwater gardeners,” and see how we use live kelp plants to create this famous Aquarium centerpiece.

Giant kelp belongs to a diverse group of organisms called algae. Simpler than most land plants, algae have no roots, stems, leaves or flowers. They range in size from microscopic cells to 100-foot-tall giant kelp.
