The new touch tank for Discovery Place is under construction and starting to take shape. Constructed from Corian, acrylic, and a composite FRP/plywood frame, the touch tank will house hardy invertebrates like sea stars, horseshoe crabs, and snails for the public to experience and learn about from a knowledgeable docent. A built-in video microscope will display on a nearby wall features of the animals too small to see with the naked eye.
