Talk to divers in the 306,000-gallon Living Shipwreck, watch  feeding time at various exhibits and touch a sea turtle, horseshoe crab or other creature in live-animal programs any day you visit.  Check the schedule for when the otters come out to play and other free programs that vary by day and season.

For a small extra fee, see what’s on the other side of the exhibits with a behind-the-scenes tour, or get outside with a fishing session or a paddling expedition. The Aquarium also has special programs for Scout troops and school groups. If you can’t bring your class or group , our sea turtles, horseshoe crabs and other critters can hit the road in our traveling Outreach programs.

Invite an alligator or other special guest to your child’s birthday party at the Aquarium, or let your kids bunk down for the night in view of a sunken submarine and 400-pound sharks as they “Sleep with the Fishes” (minimum of 12 participants for sleepovers).
