As a teacher I appreciate all the aquarium has done to make learning about the animals easy and engaging for children of all ages. I especially love how flexible they are with designing an experience that meets the specific needs of a group.

SAFE SPACE
Many of the Aquarium’s residents are rescued animals that can’t be released safely back into the wild, so they stay comfortably here under our care.
