The interactive attraction introduces families to the fascinating world of clawed creatures – from Japanese spider crabs to an America lobster, these amazing animals have extraordinary characteristics including super-strength, armored shells and big pincers.

“SEA LIFE exposes guests to creatures that they would not have the opportunity to observe in the wild,” said Colin Ross, General Manager of SEA LIFE Carlsbad Aquarium. “Claws, with its remarkable animals and interactive elements, educates visitors about creatures from around the world in a fun and immersive environment.”

The new exhibit features Japanese spider crabs, which can grow to 13-feet from claw-to-claw, coconut crabs, named for their ability to crack open coconuts with the power of their claws, and other amazing aquatic animals, such as: Fiddler crabs, an American lobster and nephrops, commonly referred to as “prawns”. Claws also includes a touch display allowing guests to feel the shell textures of different crabs; a mechanical claw that guests can control and use to pick up objects; plus a new daily educational presentation.

More than a standard Aquarium, SEA LIFE provides an educational and interactive dynamic unlike any other. The SEA LIFE experience incorporates LEGO^® models into a child’s voyage to the depths of the ocean, presenting the wonders of the underwater world to them in a way specially designed for their understanding. Featuring play zones, fun facts and quiz trails, SEA LIFE is designed to be a child’s guide to the life of the sea.
