Family Themed Sleepovers

After everyone has gone home, and the Aquarium has closed its doors for the night, we invite you to join us for an exciting night of exploration!  Stash your gear, meet your adventure leaders and get ready to explore the Aquarium through a variety of special activities, tours, presentations and guest speakers.

After a delicious evening snack, we head into our behind-the-scenes marine lab to continue on the second half of your adventure, where you can touch local invertebrates including live sea stars, sea urchins, anemones and more! 

Bed down in front of one of the Aquarium's spectacular marine galleries.  In the morning, after a calm continental breakfast, tour the Marine Mammal Deck and Amazon Free Flight Gallery as the Aquarium wakens for a new day.
