Special museum experiences and programming:
OceanXperience will be open daily and included in General Admission to Discovery Place Science. Throughout the exhibition’s duration, Discovery Place Science will have special programming highlighting oceanography and underwater exploration. Programs will include coral conservation and underwater weather activities, maritime medicine lab experiences and ocean-themed design challenges, along with programming for World Oceans Day and Shark Week.
Flying Fish, a globally recognized producer of traveling exhibitions and experiences, developed OceanXperience as the leading educational journey into ocean exploration. This immersive exhibition highlights the exciting discoveries made by the OceanXplorer team, presented in an engaging and informative way. It was produced with support from the National Geographic Society and the Arizona Science Center, which created the educational guides for the exhibition.
“The goal with OceanXperience was to go beyond producing a traditional visitor experience. We’ve created an exhibition that’s dynamic, engaging and fun but with a purpose – to raise awareness of our oceans and the importance of their conservation,” said Jay Brown, Principal & Managing Director of Flying Fish. “Cutting-edge science and technology are used throughout the exhibition in straightforward ways, ensuring accessibility for all. We’ve used RFID technology to deliver customized visitor missions, and interactives like the ROV pilot stations, animal tagging and mapping touch tables add to science-based learning. We developed the exhibition to be a true adventure with intention and connection for explorers of all kinds. We’re very proud of the results.”
OceanXperience is a traveling exhibition produced and toured internationally by Flying Fish, based on the National Geographic series OceanXplorers, produced by BBC Studios Natural History Unit and OceanX in association with Lightship Earth Productions. The series follows a fearless team of pioneering scientific storytellers exploring the deepest and most inaccessible areas of our world’s oceans, highlighting their achievements and the challenges they face along the way.
The exhibition aims to increase awareness of our oceans and inspire lifelong learners, future conservationists, and changemakers while highlighting OceanX’s mission to preserve, restore, and discover our planet’s fascinating marine ecosystems through awe-inspiring media, cutting-edge technology and trailblazing science and research.
