Spend Quality
Family Time With Us

We’ve developed a special program just for kids, aged eight and under, and their families. Located in Clownfish Cove, this is a show where anything can happen, including crafts, singing, puppet shows, games and entertaining, creative fun. Every week there’s a different theme that focuses on different animals. With plenty of laughter and cheer, this is a great opportunity for young children to learn about the aquatic world while having fun with their families.

Play With Us

Family Programs take place in Clownfish Cove, which is located in the underwater viewing area of the Wild Coast gallery. Clownfish Cove is designed to allow children to explore and build on their understanding of our world. The gallery offers tips for caregivers to guide children through their explorations and play. Children can also get up close to live animals through touch exhibits, glass crawling tunnels and fun displays.

Learn With Us

Clownfish Cove fosters children’s connections to the natural world—all through exploration and play. When children play, they develop their imagination and creativity, as well as their language, social and problem-solving skills. By role-playing the part of a junior animal technician, getting close-up looks at local marine species and learning about the dolphin research we do at the Aquarium, kids will start to understand the wonders of the marine world and why it’s important to help protect it.
