Programs & Activities
Whether you are touring the Aquarium or you want to add some extra fun and adventure to your visit, please join us for a variety of educational and interactive programs and activities.
Talk to divers in the 306,000-gallon Living Shipwreck, watch feeding time in various exhibits and touch a sea turtle, horseshoe crab or other creature in a live-animal program any day you visit. These programs, free with admission, can be enjoyed every morning and afternoon. 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 barrier island trek, an onboard collection cruise or paddling expedition. The Aquarium also has special programs for Scout troops and school groups at the Aquarium. If you can’t bring your class or group to the Aquarium, 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.”
