The Downtown Denver Aquarium features a floor-to-ceiling view of over 500 species of ocean animals in a 50,000-gallon tank, which functions as the centerpiece to the dining experience. With the Shark Cage experience, you get a chance to go for a real scuba dive to see zebra sharks, blacktip sharks, sand tiger sharks and more up close and safely. There's also the Mystic Mermaids that you can watch swimming and dancing underwater here.
