The Aquarium approached Hennessy in October 2002 with the concept of converting their outdoor entertainment area into an “Island” theme children and family attraction.  It was their desire to create a contemporary covered patio with terraced levels utilizing thatch, bamboo and wood.  Woodroffe Corporation was hired by Hennessy to lead the charge through the City permitting process to make this dream a reality.  While the design was underway The Aquarium was busy with fund raising.  

Featured at the exhibit are new interactive water exhibits, Tiki huts, restrooms, snack bar, climbing wall, outdoor theater, fish food shack and a pirate’s ship.
