This place is just one tunnel tank after another. Cool!

There are 3 large walk-through tunnels that at one time used to be a single tank for Keiko the orca of "Free Willy" fame. All of the tunnels feature viewing windows in their floors, and the largest of the tunnels has at least 5 species of sharks and 3 viewing windows in the floor.
 
i wonder if the tunnel was there when keiko was there? are there any collections with Orca being exhibited with a glass tunnel through it?

The tunnels were added to the tank after Keiko left when it was converted to the shark exhibit
