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.

Visitor Alert
Rescue Harbor is currently closed for construction.
Be advised, guests should follow the pathway at the northwestern corner of our parking lot — all the way to the left if you’re facing the main building— through Whirlpool Commons to reach our main entrance. (Please note, there are stairs between Whirlpool Commons and the entrance, so guests who need an accessible path can follow signage to the back of the building.)
There will be no daily seal presentations during this time.
Thank you for your patience while we SEAL this up!
