Make a day of it

Let everyone choose an animal they want to learn about before you arrive.

Take your time at a few exhibits and pause for snacks rather than rushing through the whole aquarium.

Check the official site for current tickets, reservations, accessibility information, and daily presentations.

Before you go

Check current hours, prices, reservations, accessibility, and conditions directly with the destination. Holiday schedules can differ from normal operating hours.
