#3 Tej Sundher & Steve Bitter on America's newest public aquarium - a podcast by The International Zoo & Aquarium Review

Tej Sunder & Steve Bitter are the brains behind Aquarium at the Boardwalk, America's newest public aquarium in Branson, Missouri. Although this is Tej's first foray into the public aquarium world, he's opened (and operates) a number of successful attractions across the United States through his family business, Kuvera Partners. Steve has been in the public aquarium industry for a number of years, having opened 7 public aquarium attractions and worked on the design and delivery of many more. He's no stranger to the stresses of aquarium construction!

In this episode, we talk about their role in bringing America's newest public aquarium to life; we talk about everything from financing the attraction, designing the guest experience, and what it takes to create a seawater environment almost 600 miles from the nearest ocean. You can book tickets to Aquarium at the Boardwalk here.
