Not at all! We are happy to work with you to find a program that best suits your group’s needs and interests.

Including a live-animal ambassador is an option for some of our programs upon request, however a live-animal component is not guaranteed.

Most of our onsite programming will incorporate a guided visit to at least one of our exhibits, however at this time we do not offer a guided visit of the entire facility.

Are there any other options to enhance my visit to the aquarium?

You can also add an Aquaventure to your visit; much like a scavenger hunt, you’ll embark on a self-guided journey around the Aquarium, answering questions that will help you get to know our aquarium residents on a deeper level.
