Winter Fishtival
When December 26, 2019–January 5, 2020
As the holiday season nears, so does one of our largest annual special events—Winter Fishtival!
Join us for hands-on activities, special talks and opportunities to learn more about the care and feeding of the Aquarium’s fish, birds, tide pool animals and marine mammals. Each day we’ll highlight a different sea animal and activity, including a special performance of Octonauts: To Your Stations on January 4 at 11am and 1pm. Included with Aquarium admission; no reservation necessary. This event runs from December 26–January 5 and each day has a different animal theme.
Animals and schedule vary by day. Click on the days listed below to see each animal themed schedule.
