“Explore the wonders of the ocean in the Suzanne and Walter Scott Aquarium Education and Conference Center. Located on the west side of the Scott Aquarium, the 13,000 square foot Education and Conference Center is a meeting place and classroom unlike any other. As you walk through the 1,062 square foot conference center foyer, guests are greeted by a 10 foot coral reef tropical fish aquarium. […] The centerpiece of the opposite wall is a 24 foot 10,000 gallon reef aquarium.” —via omahazoo.com
