St. Louis Aquarium

Descend into Shark Canyon


This 250,000-gallon exhibit is the largest at the St. Louis Aquarium and provides multiple, awe-inspiring opportunities to view the incredible marine life that reside here. The most unique viewing panel is the “J Window” where guests can see sharks and rays swim over them. The varying depths presented a challenge in finding a single fixture that could achieve the best color temperature at multiple depths and viewing angles. The interchangeable reflector options on the Cielux W2K fixtures made that possible over certain parts of the exhibit without blinding guests or taking away from the canyon-like feel.
