Rockpools are teeming with life
Are you brave enough to touch a spiny sea urchin or sea star at our Interactive Touchpool Exhibit?
Many different creatures live in these shallow pools – they all need to be tough to adapt to different temperatures and waves crashing over them!
Most sea stars have 5 arms but some species can have up to 24! Sea stars have hundreds of little tube feet which they use to walk, stick to rocks and respire!
