Description

Branson, Missouri’s Aquarium on the Boardwalk won a 2022 IES Award of Merit for its playful, intriguing, and clarifying lighting. Driven by Instgrammable moments – and controlled via a mixture of Paradigm and Mosaic systems – the Aquarium takes visitors on a journey to the bottom of the ocean and back again. The system follows a regular schedule based on time of day, but allows for interaction with guests, switching colors on tanks via buttons on tanks, thanks to ETC’s easy integration with AV systems. Scheduling is also important for the large octopus sculpture on the outside of the building, which rotates through a variety of colorful looks every night.
