Get a new view of the Aquarium in this behind-the-scenes adventure! Your morning begins with a private sea otter feeding and training session. Next you'll go on "morning rounds" to see where food is prepared for our animals, and how they get their morning meals. You'll have a chance to prepare "fish pills" for our penguins, and help our aquarists prepare the touch-pool for visitors.

As you explore the Aquarium with our trained naturalist, you'll see the exhibits from a perspective that's usually only available to staff and volunteers. Along the way, you'll learn how we care for more than 30,000 living animals and plants in 200 galleries and exhibits.

It was a wonderful experience, one that will be with us forever. We can't wait to do it again. -Samantha
