More than 70 percent of the Earth's surface is covered in water, which fails to explain why the remaining 30 percent contains 100 more aquariums than the moon. Sop up a lunar ocean of experience with today's side deal: for $9, you get one general admission (up to $18 value) to SEA LIFE Arizona in Tempe.

For those humans who are lamentably landlocked, SEA LIFE Arizona offers a hands-on educational aquatic experience filled with up-close animal viewings, fishy feeding frenzies, interactive encounters, and more. Seafaring adventure awaits across the multifaceted aquarium map, charting a knowledge-clogged journey through 26,000 square feet of salt and freshwater chambers that house more than 5,000 aqua-inhalers, including sharks, stingrays, and dexterously tentacled octopus gardeners. Along the bubble-bounded stroll through the transparent tunnel, tactile learners can use special touch tanks to interact with tidal denizens and discover secret starfish handshakes. Catch a variety of aquarium activities throughout the week, including shark, ray, and seahorse feedings; daily discussions of the latest underwater gossip; and close encounters with nature's most misunderstood predatory polyp, the sea anemone.

• I was very entertained by the stingray/small shark tank and I loved the HUGE area with all of the fish, stingrays, and sharks swimming around. – Tina T., Yelp
• The whole place is decorated as if its under water. The lighting effects are really nice too. My son was so excited every time we turned a corner he could not contain himself. – Nicola H., Yelp
