Part of Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, the Walter and Suzanne Scott Kingdoms of the Seas Aquarium was opened in 1995 and quickly became one of the main attractions. The building occupies 71,000 square feet and its tanks contains 1,200,000 gallons of water. The aquarium features diverse aquatic habitats including exhibits on the polar regions, a flooded Amazon rainforest, temperate oceans, and coral reefs.

The enormous 450,000-gallon shark tank has a 70-foot-long shark tunnel in the 17 feet-deep tank filled with sharks, sea turtles, stingrays, and a bright variety of coral reef fish. There are also tanks with jellyfish and open-ocean fish, while a portable touch tank allows visitors to experience touching the skins of sharks and stingrays. There are penguins outside near the entrance during the warmer months and the freshwater display of the Amazon rainforest teems with various fish, turtles, invertebrates, and mammals such as squirrel monkeys.
