A spectacular, $25 million renovation completed in 2009, Restless Planet is four immersive habitats, dozens of new exhibits and 110,000 gallons of new aquariums. The Aquarium?s original main exhibit gallery has been dramatically overhauled to represent Restless Planet, where we can see how diverse environments from Virginia?s past compare to similar environments still in existence today.
